PROGRAM

Today we were pleased to have as our speakers Alexis Hocevar, Vice President/General Manager & Yolanda Johnson, Talent Acquisition Specialist both with Enterprise Holdings Inc. and Michael Mitchell, Fisher & Phillips.

Enterprise Holdings has a rich and distinctive heritage. It’s a truly remarkable story of how entrepreneurship, hard work and a big dream can turn a tiny start-up into a world-class company.

The founder of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Jack Taylor, had an idea to focus the resources of Enterprise, on the satisfaction of their customers and the success of their employees. For more than 50 years, his innovative commitment has held true, and they continue to be recognized for their world-class customer service and the way they advance their professionals.

Their program focused on how to recruitment employees, how to screen applicants, where to find them. I have attached a copy of Ms. Johnson’s program for your review.

Also, Michael Mitchell, Fisher & Philips has asked me to forward to you the attached document titled “April Seminar 2012”. He stated “As a follow up to our discussion on hiring this morning, I thought you might find helpful this brief article I wrote a few months ago on the subject of hiring. It appeared in our firm newsletter so some of you may have already seen it. If you’re not receiving our newsletter and would like to, just let me know. There is no charge. It contains regular articles regarding labor and employment matters of interest to managers.”
