Read Story →Minnesota, the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” is famously verdant with plentiful fresh water. But Minnesota is more than just pastoral beauty. The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul are vibrant urban centers that punch above their weight when it comes to playing host to Fortune 500 companies. Not only that, but Minnesotans are famously polite and courteous. So chances are, if your next employee calls Minnesota home, they won’t want to leave.Bringing on a new employee can be exciting, but there’s often a lot to do as well. You want to onboard your new hire as quickly and smoothly as possible to ensure their success at your organization. But before you get started with onboarding, you’ll need to register your company with the state of Minnesota.
