Top performing companies face the same Human Resources (HR) problems as any other organization. What’s different is how top performers find solutions by sweeping away the status quo. A select group of these organizations is gathering to showcase best practices at this year’s SAPPHIRENOW on June 3-5 in Orlando, Florida.
This line-up of successful companies, industry experts, and renowned research is not the typical conference track. It’s part of a larger “Future of Work” agenda at SAPPHIRE that’s deliberately designed to spark ideas and action plans for tackling the new world of work. The format is structured around candid conversations based on real world lessons learned. Here is just a sampling of the HR experts that will share insights at this event.
