Garden State Council • SHRM 16th Annual Conference & Expo Header Image

These questions are the focus of this year´s conference, “The Transformation of HR.” Gone are the days of “personnel” and policing our employees and good riddance! For the past decade we´ve been focused on becoming Business Partners. Is that enough?
We pride ourselves on being change agents for our organizations to keep them competitive. But do we have what it takes to change? Do we understand what needs to change and where we are going for business growth and individual development? Attend this Conference and answer these questions for yourself!
