A Change Would Do You Good How many times in the last few years (be honest) have you been involved in an HR project to identify something…a process, a model, a technology, a strategy to improve overall performance? How many times has that project been put on hold due to funding, resources, lack of leadership backing, or something else? And how many times has the broken inefficient process just continued? Does it all stem from a poorly supported or drafted business plan? In truth there are a hundred reasons why a project doesn’t come to fruition. But one stands above them all.

Deemed “the world’s best conference on HR Technology," the annual HR Technology Conference & Exposition is the largest North American gathering of HR professionals, experts and technology vendors, and Dovetail is excited to be a part of it.
