The CNMI Chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management will have their annual Diversity conference on Nov. 9, 2006. The Annual Diversity Conference will look at the value of a diverse workforce and what managers can do to maximize the positive affect of these differences in our workers. Being from a multinational environment, this conference will cover topics of many diverse issues within the work workplace as well as the community.
Anthony Mosley, chief operating officer of Pacific Telecom Inc., will share some suggestions on how to lead a diverse workforce. Patricia Coleman, the acting EFNEP & FSNEP coordinator for NMC-CREES, will share the importance of keeping employees healthy in order to have a more effective workforce. Thomas Camacho, special assistant for Disability Policy and Programs, will discuss ADA and offering reasonable accommodations in the workplace. Dr. Kendall Gladding, clinical psychologist from the Community Guidance Center, will give information on how to address mental illness in the workplace.
All SHRM members are urged to join their peers for this current and informative conference. All non-SHRM members in the business community, whether owners, managers or human resource professionals, are invited to learn more about the Society and to improve their human resource knowledge through the conference.
