Mondays tend to get a bad rap, but not this week! We have so much in store for you today, that it might even be the best day of the week. Today is the last full day of #ASHHRA17, and it’s a fantastic start to the week ahead.
We know those work emails are already starting to roll in, so take advantage of the Cyber Café to check email, and charge your electronic devices at the Charging Station so you can stay connected all day. Both are available in the Registration area today from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Be sure to take advantage of the free conference wifi (network: ASHHRA17 / password: CieloHealthcareRPO) and visit the ASHHRA Resource Center to pick up the latest HR books and resources at great prices.
Generously sponsored by Voya (Cyber Café), Pixel (Charging Station), Cielo (wifi) and TIAA (Resource Center)!
So let's get out there and make today an unforgettable Monday!

"People with disabilities have the same potential as the non-disabled, and statistics show they do even better. But we can't do it unless HR helps kick the door open for us There's a perception that accommodating disabilities is expensive, but it's not. What we need is simply acceptance."

As a first-time attendee, what are your thoughts thus far of the conference?
It's very informative! The education sessions have been amazing and I've already gotten a lot of ideas to take back to my organization. All of the vendors I've met with are sharing innovative technologies, especially to help with my recruitment process.
What are you most excited to experience during your time at #ASHHRA17?
I'm presenting a session on FMLA and ADA on Monday, so I'm very excited for that experience and overall to attend more education sessions. And more networking!
What's the one thing that you want to walk away with at the end of #ASHHRA17?
Taking back the strategies that I've learned at the conference and putting them into practice at my organization. After all, if you don't do anything with what you learn here, then you're missing out.
Based on your experience so far, what advice would you give to other first-timers?
All the sessions are good, so make sure that you choose to attend the ones that have content that's relevant to what you need, and then bring that information back with you and use it. And enjoy yourself!
