Join us for the 2014 SHRM Missouri State Conference being held August 5-8, 2014 at Tan-Tar-A Resort! This year's conference will be packed with over keynote, general and concurrent sessions covering a wide range of human resource topics for all levels of practitioners.
Optional Pre-Conference Workshop, Tuesday, August 5th
- Pre-Conference Workshop! Pre-approved for 6.0 hours of PHR/SPHR recertification credit, this one-day pre-conference workshop "Culture Builder Bootcamp: The What, Why and How of Building an Inclusive Organizational Culture" will be held on Tuesday, August 5th. Diversity and Inclusion work seems to be at a crossroads. We have gotten very good, as individuals and organizations, at saying wonderful things about Diversity and Inclusion, yet there is often very little corresponding action. You would be hard pressed to find another aspect of how we do business today where what we say is more clearly divorced from what we do. Joe's inspiration and energy are infectious and his 9 Factors of an Inclusive Organizational Culture will give you a clear framework for guiding your organizations D&I efforts. The session will be facilitated by one of SHRM's most sought after speakers, Joe Gerstandt.
Registration fee: $169 (includes lunch) and 6.0 hours of PHR/SPHR recertification credit.
