The Most Important HR Conference of 2008

Is There a Crisis Brewing?

Upper Marlboro, Md / August 5, 2008 – There are many issues affecting the workforce today: layoffs are accelerating through mergers, restructuring, and outsourcing; wages are stagnant; benefits are consistently being reduced, while workplace rights are restricted and EEOC complaints are greatly increasing.   Through eight days of expert presentation, insight and instruction, you will not get a vision of doom but rather clarity. You will be exposed to an integrated view of the most critical problems that we are creating today.  Hear directly from regulatory agencies including EEOC, OFCCP and US Department of Labor and learn from select industry experts as they carefully guide you from challenges to solutions. In eight days leave with an R4 Blueprint to help you evaluate, modify, develop, or change your approach to preparing for the next six years.

Delivered Live in four major cities or as individual videos on demand – you will not have to joggle you calendar or you budget to participate.

Who Should Attend?
Organizers, Shop Stewards, Union Officers, Human Resource Managers, Recruiters, any organization that is looking for innovative responsible and ethical solutions and to strategize with the top minds in the industry. R4 is for individuals who are looking to stay on top of the most current information regarding issues that are not only relevant, but which are impacting the workforce today. Whether your downsizing, expanding globally, becoming more diverse, experiencing or planning M&A activity, or whether you are looking to employ either baby boomers or millennial; this is a must attend event.

We live in a world of ever increasing change.
Never before in history have the actions of a single individual had the potential to impact its organization in such critical ways.  The explosion of information, connectedness, changing markets and changing rules; have magnified the consequences of employee’s actions to points almost beyond comprehension. But that almost is the focal point where good companies can plan, measure learn and act in ways that will head them successfully down the high stakes road between RISK and Reward.
R4 is an integrated discussion and workshop on the potential, acquisition, development and risk of your most volatile asset – your people.

Sponsorship Opportunities are still available
