Human Resources Committee Meeting

Our next HR Committee meeting will be on November 6, when we’ll welcome two speakers from the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC), who will address both ends of the employment relationship.  One speaker will discuss the various services and options the VEC has to provide our member companies in finding and hiring good new employees best suited to the needs of their workplace, and the other will provide our members tips and advice on how to be most effective in responding to and contesting former employees’ unemployment compensation claims received by the VEC.  This presentation is certain to be of value to every one of our members, so I very much hope you will be able to join us!
