WorldatWork “Goes Green” At Its Annual Conference Next Month
WorldatWork, an eco-responsible association of human resource professionals worldwide, is “going green” at its 2008 Total Rewards Conference in Philadelphia.
(PRWEB) April 16, 2008 -- WorldatWork, an eco-responsible association of human resource professionals worldwide, is “going green” at its 2008 Total Rewards Conference in Philadelphia.
Talent leaders and HR executives from large corporations, educational institutions and government agencies will gather May 20-23 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center to discuss ways their organizations attract, motivate and retain employees.
WorldatWork has announced several green initiatives for the conference, including:
- Structures and conference signage will use materials that lessen the impact on the environment.
- Handouts will not be preprinted for each workshop. Instead, attendees will be asked to access the handouts online.
- Individual bottled water will be replaced with a reusable water bottle for all attendees, with several water stations located throughout the convention center.
- Recycle bins for paper, aluminum and plastic will line the convention center.
The organization also announced it is looking for partners among the conference’s dozens of sponsors and exhibitors to, among other things, incorporate reusable materials in their exhibit booths and print their fliers on recyclable paper.
For additional information on the conference’s green initiative, please contact Marcia Rhodes, APR, WorldatWork Media Relations, at 480-304-6885 or Marcia.Rhodes@ worldatwork.org.
