Community Relations - To be more visible in the community. We partnered with United Way to host a job search skills workshop for those seeking employment.

HR Industrial Roundtable - The goal was to share best practices for HR professionals working in the manufacturing and warehousing sector. We partnered with the Denton Chamber of Commerce and the Denton Economic Development Partnership to broaden our reach throughout the community.

Emerging Professionals Program - Program is a venue available for HR Professionals to learn, enhance, or freshen up your HR competencies through peer-to-peer coaching, workshops, seminars, and virtual meetings. We created a mentor and mentee registration form in which pair up those who completed the forms. In the form we gather information on the mentor and mentee background, experience and resources that the mentor may have. For the mentees, we asked what goals they would like to accomplish or skill they would like to develop as an HR Professional. We also followed with the mentors and mentees regarding the progress of their interactions with one another.
