Taking Care of HR: Prioritizing Your Mental Wellness

"I've been to many conferences throughout my career, and sadly, had stopped attending most of them because they have become fairly rote or too self promoting. Bennie's HRA conference is the only conference I look forward to attending every year! The content is 100% about helping People Ops/HR professionals to innovate, grow, and advance themselves and the organizations they work with in various ways, and the attendees and the speakers all exhibit their desire to grow, learn, teach, and connect. I'm grateful to be a part of the HRA community and thrilled that Bennie believes so deeply in empowering People Ops/HR professionals!"
