GPHR Study Group

Interested in studying for the GPHR?  

This Fall/Winter is the last chance you will have to take the GPHR test under the old guidelines.  Next year it will be more difficult to qualify to even take the test.  Why not go ahead and get certified this year?  A study group is being formed for this Fall to prepare for the GPHR test.  OCHRS can get a discounted rate on the SHRM learning system.

July 2010 Meeting

When:

 Topic:

All Chapters Lunch Meeting

 Is your organization looking for simple, budget-friendly ways to “go green” in order to improve worker health and productivity while improving the bottom-line – and, becoming more environmentally friendly?

HR Departments can play a vital role in educating organizations on "how to" implement no cost and low cost eco-strategies to reduce their operational costs and environmental impact.

This fast-paced, information-packed session will give you the tools you need to help your organization discover that even small changes make a difference and that going green is good for our health, the planet, and our budgets.
