National SHRM speaker to address membership meeting this April 17

The CNMI Chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management will be holding a membership meeting on April 7, 2014, from 11am to 2pm at the Pacific Islands Club’s Charley’s Cabaret. All members of the community are invited to attend.

The meeting will offer a special opportunity to the public. This month’s speaker, Dianna Gould, SPHR, CAE, has over 20 years of experience in the human resource profession. She is currently the Field Services Director for the Pacific West Region for the Society for Human Resource Management. Prior to joining SHRM, she had experience as an HR professional with employers ranging from Fortune 500 companies to start-up firms. She has worked in the high tech, international export, manufacturing, and the service industry. Gould has been an active member with SHRM since 1991 and has served in a variety of leadership roles during that time. She is lifetime certified as a Senior Professional Human Resources.

Gould’s topic at the April meeting will be “Energize and engage: How inclusion supercharges employee satisfaction and performance.” She will discuss how the ability to create inclusive work environments with engaged employees has become a key lever for competitive advantage in today’s rapidly changing world. In this session, attendees will explore key research findings on the role of inclusion as a driver of job satisfaction and employee engagement. In addition, the program will look at real-world examples of how organizations with inclusive cultures are attracting, engaging, and retaining talent and transforming their organizations into great places to work.

The attendance fee is $25 for SHRM members and $35 for non-SHRM members. Register with Micah at corpoffice@triplejsaipan.com or Malou Jardinero at Malou_Jardinero@tanholdings.com. Seats are limited, but still available.

The CNMI chapter has been active since 1996. (SHRM)
