Welcome! On behalf of the Northeast Human Resources Association, I welcome you to The Voice of HR. Since 2003, NEHRA members have provided dozens of timely articles and surveys on workforce hiring, planning, diversity, technology and their implications for HR professionals and hiring managers. At NEHRA we believe that the role of HR needs to be courageous in addressing the issues facing our organizations: global competition, immigration, health care reform, multi generational workplaces, retirement challenges, creating and sustaining organizations in ways that embrace and truly value inclusion as well as difference. I hope the contributions on The Voice of HR have and will continue to provide real time solutions to help solve problems that may be facing you or your organization. This fresh content can only be found here on The Voice of HR. We invite you to check back often and take advantage of this invaluable local resource. – Deb Hicks, NEHRA Chair of the Board
