How to Recognize and Handle Top Municipal HR Issues
Pamela M Ploor, Partner, at the law firm of Stafford Rosenbaum LLP

You come into work on Monday morning with your “to do” list ready to go.  When you depart to go home that night, you see you have done nothing on your list and added three HR items to it.  What’s a busy municipal employee to do!? There isn’t enough time to think much less figure out which HR items should get priority?!  If this sounds familiar, come to this session to hear why certain HR tasks should get priority, how to address them, and hopefully save yourself time in the process.
