Greetings ITAC HR Forum Members:
The next ITAC HR Forum meeting is Wednesday, November 28th, hosted by SAS Canada in Toronto. Please mark your calendars accordingly!
Are you hiring employees who increasingly work from home or remote office locations? Virtual work locations have their advantages, but also their challenges. It is so important to start new employees off on the right foot .... to acclimate them into your culture, and help them maximize their productivity as quickly as possible. Join us on November 28th to learn best practices and lessons learned when onboarding virtual employees.
Following the Onboarding discussion, we will have a fun, interactive workshop about HR's Toolbox. As our businesses change and transform at lightening speed, we all work harder and smarter to keep pace. Come prepared to share and learn from your fellow ITAC HR professionals about the latest and greatest tools, networks, vendors, and practices that we use to optimize HR's effectiveness.
