HRM-RI Members Host Chamber Roundtable

On October 28, HRM-RI members David Goldman, Elissa O'Brien, and Brenda Ossinger hosted a round-table event at the Newport Chamber of Commerce, designed to assist smaller businesses who may not have an HR professional on staff.

The event was well-attended and well-received. Topics ranging from FMLA to background checks to the ADA were discussed. The meeting went so well that the Chamber has asked HRM-RI to consider running this round-table monthly or bi-monthly. Interested in participating? Contact us!
