October 12 HR Meeting on Diversity and Inclusions
Diversity and inclusion as perceived through the eyes of an eight-year-old to the experiences of a ninety-four-year-old—how alike or different are they? Attendees of the monthly meeting of JSAHR (The Jersey Shore Association for Human Resources), open to the public, will view the film “Embraceable You”; interact with the Geri Delevich, the director of the film; and discuss the role of diversity and inclusion in their workplaces on Thursday, October 12, 2017, from 7:45 to 10:00 a.m., at the Jumping Brook Country Club, 210 Jumping Brook Road, Neptune, N.J.
