Presentation: Discipline Done Right – Best Practices for HR (and Managers) to Use

Also, when you leave this session, you can implement these best practices immediately!  Although many HR pros have experience disciplining employees, this session is presented by an experienced employment lawyer who can explain the legal dangers that arise when sub-optimal discipline actions are taken.

Casino Night Charity

During the casino night, we will supporting Vero Beach Hight School (VBHS), by collecting monetary donations for their locker charity:

VBHS has a population of almost 2800 students with 51.7 of students on free or reduced lunch.  Approximately 50 students have identified themselves as being homeless or residing in the home of another person.  Many  students lack access to basic hygiene items, clothing, food, and school supplies.  This often prevents them from participating in school-related activities due to limited funds. Because of this, VBHS has created a safe space and closet for these students that contains the above-mentioned items and are always looking for donations to keep these closets stocked.
