“I really enjoyed

GETTING TO
New Orleans
the atmosphere that SHRM created at the conference. It was great to be
able to apply the knowledge I learned about creating a healthy workplace
culture to our workplace culture initiative at my organization. I was
able to learn so much and everyone in my company was able to benefit
from the knowledge I brought back.”
