In today's highly competitive, multi-cultural business environment, it is important for business owners and human resources executives to be up-to-date on all employee related issues.
Through the Chamber's Human Resources Committee, you can keep abreast of, or stay ahead of the curve on timely issues such as: employee trip reduction, sexual harassment awareness training, pre-employment screening by third party firms, recruitment and retention, work/family programs, managed care health insurance and more.
Meeting on a monthly basis, this committee is also responsible for the preparation of the Chamber's Annual Wage & Salary Survey, an excellent resource to help you manage your business.
For the small and mid-size businesses who do not have an HR professional on staff, association with this committee allows access to professionals and vital information needed to manage the HR side of your business. Get your questions answered, find resources for important information and save time and money for your company.
In addition, the Chamber offers other programs and events designed to help businesses deal with human resources issues. One of these is the Job Fair and Work/Family Fair held in conjunction with the Business Resource Day at the NJ Convention Center, Raritan Center in Edison, NJ.
When it comes to Workforce Development, the Chamber takes the lead in Central New Jersey in preparing our youth for the business challenges of tomorrow through our annual Educators Institute program. This business-to-education initiative is focused on creating a dialogue between those preparing the workforce of tomorrow and those who need to develop that workforce.
The Chamber is the designated liaison for the New Jersey State Department of Labor's program. Designed to give our teachers a true taste of the business world and the opportunity to bring back these experiences to the classroom rounds out our workforce initiatives.
Access to experts and the ability to network with colleagues provides chamber members the building blocks for success.
