Can going green really be better for your company?  What is your bottom line?  May's Learning Lab offers an opportunity for TAHRA members (and guests) to expand their knowledge beyond some of the "traditional" HR roles.  As companies explore "green" possibilities, they often turn to their HR Professional to drive this initiative.  Join us as we learn why many companies are moving toward calculating their "triple bottom line" not just their "bottom line".  Come learn about the triple bottom line and how this can affect your employees' effectiveness and morale, as well as the company's business plan and ultimately profit!  Learn how HR can make this difference within the company. 

TAHRA is pleased to present Corey Williams, Executive Director of Sustainable Tulsa, who will enlighten us about the triple bottom line and going green.  In addition to Corey, a panel of local experts will share tips on green business practices including: buying locally, eating locally, recycling programs, and energy saving advantages.
