Human resources and people programs is one of the most important, yet complex, functions in today's poultry and egg industry. Regardless of how sophisticated equipment and machines may be, the success of a company ultimately depends upon its people. People are essential to manage and maintain the complex systems of today, and people must make vital day-to-day decisions.
The Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa will be the venue for this seminar on April 15-17 in Destin, Florida.
