Dear Colleague,
The 2023 IPMA-HR Minnesota Chapter membership drive is underway! IPMA-HR is the leading public sector human resource organization in the world and has been serving HR professionals since 1906. As a current or former member of IPMA-HR, I am sure you are aware of the many benefits IPMA-HR offers. From the services and training opportunities provided to the resources located on the IPMA-HR website and our newly created IPMA-HR Quarterly Newsletter. The organization is a great resource for public sector professionals like yourself. For individuals who have never been a member, I encourage you to consider joining our MN Chapter.
Member benefits
• Ongoing opportunities to build your professional network by being a part of a network of colleagues with expertise in all aspects of public sector human resources.
• Keeping up with what's going on in the field by attending quarterly meetings and training sessions. Program agendas are designed to address timely and relevant issues of specific interest to the membership; new developments, legal changes, and legislative proposals.
• Receive the Quarterly IPMA-HR Newsletter which has relevant and timely trends, ideas, and insights for the public sector HR Professional.
• On Monday, April 17, 2023, IPMA-HR Minnesota will be hosting an annual all-day Recruitment Summit at Dakota Lodge in Thompson Park. This Recruitment Summit was kicked off in November with State Demographer Susan Brower’s update on the Minnesota Workforce which reminded us that things are not likely to change in the next 10-15 years and why now is the most important time to plan your recruitment strategy for the challenging years to come! The tentative agenda will include topics like; culture-attraction-retention, flexible workplace and job redesign policies, branding, diversifying candidate pools and job descriptions, compensation/market analysis, and reducing service levels.
