With so much time spent on defending challenges, HR Directors find it difficult to proactively plan. They’re spending time on “C players” who might sue, and not enough time on “A players” who can help the company grow. They’re dealing with more regulation and aggressive enforcement. Employers are also dealing with uncertainty on wage and hour issues that makes planning difficult, since no one knows what the DOL will do. And they’re faced with increased litigation on non-competes, FCRA, FMLA, FLSA and employer discrimination.

That’s why the Pennsylvania Chamber presents the 2015 Annual Human Resources Conference on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2015 at Hershey Lodge. Through comprehensive professional development programs for every level of experience, top national and Pennsylvania experts will provide tangible, practical steps and sound advice that human resources professionals can immediately apply to help make their difficult jobs a little easier. Preview the agenda now.
