MRC’s HR Forum provides the opportunity for HR leaders to collaborate in a peer forum for interactive discussion of challenges facing their organizations and sharing of best practices, ideas, and strategies that have been successful to overcome those challenges.
Participants in MRC’s HR Forum will hear guest speakers on specific topics of interest, including legislative updates that may impact their company, and review case studies to maximize their learning experience.
