The Most Important HR Conference of 2008

Is There a Crisis Brewing?

Upper Marlboro, Md / August 5, 2008 - There are many issues affecting the workforce
today: layoffs are accelerating through mergers, restructuring, and outsourcing;
wages are stagnant; benefits are consistently being reduced, while workplace rights
are restricted and EEOC complaints are greatly increasing. Through eight days of
expert presentation, insight and instruction, you will not get a vision of doom but
rather clarity. You will be exposed to an integrated view of the most critical
problems that we are creating today. Hear directly from regulatory agencies
including EEOC, OFCCP and US Department of Labor and learn from select industry
experts as they carefully guide you from challenges to solutions. In eight days
leave with an R4 Blueprint to help you evaluate, modify, develop, or change your
approach to preparing for the next six years.

Delivered Live in four major cities or as individual videos on demand - you will not
have to joggle you calendar or you budget to participate.

Who Should Attend?
Organizers, Shop Stewards, Union Officers, Human Resource Managers, Recruiters, any
organization that is looking for innovative responsible and ethical solutions and to
strategize with the top minds in the industry. R4 is for individuals who are looking
to stay on top of the most current information regarding issues that are not only
relevant, but which are impacting the workforce today. Whether your downsizing,
expanding globally, becoming more diverse, experiencing or planning M&A activity, or
whether you are looking to employ either baby boomers or millennial; this is a must
attend event.

We live in a world of ever increasing change.
Never before in history have the actions of a single individual had the potential to
impact its organization in such critical ways. The explosion of information,
connectedness, changing markets and changing rules; have magnified the consequences
of employee's actions to points almost beyond comprehension. But that almost is the
focal point where good companies can plan, measure learn and act in ways that will
head them successfully down the high stakes road between RISK and Reward.
R4 is an integrated discussion and workshop on the potential, acquisition,
development and risk of your most volatile asset - your people.
