Keeping workers safe and healthy is an important part of human resources, and we know accidents can happen in the workplace. Are you ready to address an accident or injury when one occurs? Do you have questions about workers’ compensation and supporting employees in returning to work? Based on feedback from participants at our last HR Gathering, we are focusing this session on safety and health, workers’ compensation, and early return to work.

The HR Gathering is for those who currently work in human resources or similar roles in the nonprofit sector. We invite those whose work focuses on HR to come together to learn, exchange information, and support each other. Whether you work in a HR department or support HR in another capacity, this gathering is for you!
