A well-run human resource department is an essential aspect of any organization. Not only are you, as an Aboriginal employer, responsible for the overall management and satisfaction of your employees, but you must also provide resources and information to satisfy the needs of your community members.
For the past ten years, INFONEX has provided you with specific and practical information on how to improve and enhance the effectiveness of the HR administration in your community. Year after year, our assembly of expert speakers have been praised for their knowledge and useful insight into managing the key issues faced by HR departments in Aboriginal communities.
Attend the 11th annual Effective Human Resource Management for Aboriginal Communities, built on the success of past events and updated for today's labour climate. We're bringing back the faculty members who have been well received and most appreciated by previous attendees. Plus, we're introducing new speakers who will deliver case study presentations on the HR successes they've had in their communities, like Lori Craig, Human Resource Director at Stoney Nation Tribal Administration. Overall, this three-day conference will address a number of key concerns for Aboriginal human resource departments today.
