HORSHAM, PA – The 6th Annual National HR in Hospitality Conference & Expo, the only human resources conference specifically for hospitality professionals, will provide employers with proven solutions for effectively handling an evolving workforce in its plenary session "Managing the Alternative Workforce." Two industry experts will dive into the complexities of managing the growing contingent employee base.

"Outsourcing, temporary hires, independent contractors and subcontracting are changing the very concept of employment in the hospitality sector," said Jo Anne Kruse, HR in Hospitality Program Chair. "This session will provide direction to employers at both large hotels and small hospitality companies so each attendee is sure to return to their property with new strategies to implement."

Expert speakers for "Managing the Alternative Workforce" plenary include: Alex Hernaez, a partner at Fox Rothschild in San Francisco; and Doug Patrick, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Hyatt Hotels in Chicago. Both will share their past experiences plus proven strategies to overcome the many challenges that arise when working with such a dynamic workforce.
