WHAT: WEDNESDAY MAY 14, 2014
WHERE: TACOMA GOODWILL
The economic environment of the last couple of years has had us all running as fast as we can, working harder than ever, and making due with less resources and people.
Now, some of us are taking advantage of growth opportunities; opening new offices or expanding existing operations. Until human cloning technology is perfected, it’s imperative as leaders that we develop our people to their best potential, attract right new talent, and move underperformers up or out, and delegate effectively - you can be in a position for strong, sustainable growth.
In this workshop, we’ll give you the tools to address your people resource challenges so you can be in a position for strong, sustainable growth.
LUNCH
All who are attending the morning workshop session are invited to join us for lunch. Please let Lauren Owen or Michele Bosworth know if you are not able to attend lunch.

Steve will talk about 5 Things executives need to know today about the Affordable Care Act
Love it or hate it, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has had a big impact on employers and will continue to do so even more in the years ahead. But there are opportunities for executives to think in new ways about their employee benefit plans, what they are providing and how they are paying for them. We will discuss emerging trends and programs in the marketplace that today’s leaders should consider and discuss. We will also address the Top 5 Things business leaders need to know, today, about the ACA. It’s been confusing with some parts repealed, some parts delayed but most if it still pertains and we will help separate the wheat from the chaff on this complex subject.
