Webinar: Economy’s Impact on HR Programs and Compensation

When: Thursday, April 22, 2010

Time: 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time)

Join us for this informative webinar in which presenters from Fox Lawson & Associates will discuss today’s economic climate, current trends in human resource programs, and compensation trends. Given the changes in the economy from 2007 to the present, public sector employers have taken several steps to adjust to the new economic realities. We will discuss the differences in steps taken by private sector employers from public sector employers, as well as the steps that public sector employers should be taking to adapt to the changing environment.
