2023 All-Employee Expo Highlights
After a long pandemic hiatus, IHR was excited to bring back the Expo to a new venue, the State Farm Center, in the fall of 2023! Here are a few highlights from our post event survey about what our employees appreciated most about the event
I loved the swag and the resources. It was very easy to opt in or out of different units/ information.
It was nice to just get out of the office with our co-workers and spend some time together. It was enjoyable visiting all the different vendors and exhibitors and fun seeing people we hadn’t seen for ages!
Number of resources/tables that participated. Wealth of knowledge all in one area.
I think it was a good opportunity for employees to get together and see people from other departments and places they may not have the chance to. I also think for new employees like myself it was great to learn more about opportunities.
