Thank you from the Maine HR Convention

HR... The way life should be!  That was the enticing theme for the 2012 convention at the Samoset, where we sold out the house! 831 from Maine and around the country saw this fabulous lineup of keynotes, speakers, and events, obtained a boatload of strategic credits, heard HR talent from the national stage, select from among 44 workshops, attended the SHRM Awards Ceremony and Leadership Day, and participated in expanded social media designed to enhance learning and networking. Plus all these fun events: Lobster Bake, Coffee Barista Station, Shoulder Massage Station, Bookstore, Internet Cafe, Maine Products Marketplace, Receptions, Auction, Golf, and much more. Mark your calendars for the next convention... May 7-10, 2012 at the Samoset.

Maine Employer's Handbook

Author Lawrence C. Winger has spent the past 20 years crafting what many call “The HR Bible for Maine.” The handbook is updated for use in 2012 and also is available in your choice of Windows-friendly computer version or book format. It traces federal and state legal developments that affect the law of the Maine workplace. If you want information on the entire spectrum of employment law and HR in Maine – from hiring to firing and everything in between – this book is the source for you!
