A Message From HRM-RI's President
Dear Members,
September is here and with it a new program year for HRM-RI. Plans
are underway for several events in the upcoming months, so be sure
to
check the website often.
Our first breakfast meeting on September 20, 2006 will feature
Bruce Katcher sharing his insights into "Why Your
Employees are Unhappy and What You Can Do About It." I’m
sure that every one of us has faced an unhappy employee or two,
(or more), so this topic should be of interest to everyone. In addition,
this is a great time of year to reconnect and network after the
busy vacation season, so register today!
Our October Professional Day will feature a keynote speaker and
workshops on talent management: how to find it, both within and
outside the organization; ideas for developing talent, and keeping
it; and retaining the skills and knowledge of employees who leave
the organization. Anyone with a suggestion for a topic or speaker,
please let us know. Our November meeting speaker is Janet LeTourneau
who will advise us on "Satisfying Our Internal Customers".
Events in the planning stages for the fall include a New Member
Orientation, a Senior Dinner and a roundtable discussion. We will
also be busy assessing the results of our recent survey and planning
to respond to the recommendations of North Star Marketing. Another
agenda item for the fall is to solicit nominations for the upcoming
officers elections in December and to fill several vacancies on
the Board.
As you can tell, there's a lot to be accomplished and once again
I urge you to consider helping out. Take a minute to consider the Top
Ten Reasons to Volunteer for HRM-RI listed on the home
page, and then give me, or any Board member a call.
Hope you've had a great summer and I look forward to seeing you
on September 20th!

Employer Mandated Health Care
Produced by the SHRM® Governmental Affairs Department
Legislatures in at least 29 states are considering various types of
legislation that would impact an employer’s discretion and flexibility
when offering comprehensive benefits to employees. Current
employer mandated health care proposals, also known as "Fair Share
health care" or "pay or play," would require private employers
with a defined number of employees to spend a certain percentage
of their payroll on employee health benefits or contribute
to the state's insurance program.
Because these proposals create a climate that jeopardizes the ability
of HR professionals to provide effective health care benefits,
SHRM opposes employer mandated health care initiatives. Click
