- May 5 and 6 Conference in New York is the Destination for HR Executives and HRO Buyers and Sellers -

HORSHAM, Pa. (April 28, 2009) HORSHAM, Pa. (April 28, 2009) –With the pressing need for organizations across all sectors to trim costs while still remaining competitive amid the global economic downturn, many human resources professionals are now turning – some for the very first time – to human resource outsourcing (HRO) and shared services. As such, the timing could not be better for the 7th Annual HRO World® Conference & Exposition, taking place Tuesday, May 5, through Wednesday, May 6, 2009, at the Hilton New York in New York City.

The leading event for proven solutions to the tactical and strategic problems associated with every phase of outsourcing HR processes, HRO World® is the destination for HRO buyers from companies of all sizes. HRO World® is part of the annual NY HR Week™, which also includes HR in Healthcare™ and HR & EEO in the Federal Workplace™, as well as the Expo Hall.

This year’s HRO World® is specifically designed to help attendees learn how to reduce operating costs and increase profitability, while also preparing for the inevitable economic resurgence.

Back by popular demand is the unique opportunity to receive expert advice from some of the top minds in the field at the Special Interest Pavilions featuring Thought Leaders, which offers attendees a free 30-minute, personal, one-on-one consultation on RPO and HRO, May 5 and 6. The Special Interest Pavilions offers HR professionals the opportunity to discuss how to transform their HR processes with experts in the field. This is an ideal opportunity to determine whether outsourcing might be beneficial to your company, or to discuss how to handle a current HRO challenge. Conference & Expo registrants can pre-register for a free 30-minute personal consultation with a Thought Leader specializing in Enterprise HRO and RPO. Registered conference attendees can sign up for their free 30-minute session at www.HRWeek.com/register.html.

New for 2009 is the HRO Senior Executive Forum, an event for senior HR executives and high-level HRO buyers. The Forum provides an opportunity for attendees to meet in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere, network with their peers, and explore critical issues in HR outsourcing. The HRO Senior Executive Forum runs parallel with the first day of the HRO World® Conference, and includes a Daily Pass to HRO World® and access to the Expo Hall. Participation is by invitation only.

In addition, many HRO buyers will be attending the HRO Buyers Group Summit taking place during NY HR WeekTM. With about 65 active members from 45 organizations, the HRO Buyers Group is responsible for the operations and delivery of HRO arrangements in their organizations, and meets twice annually to share ideas, report on successes, and address challenges and questions related to their HRO arrangements from a variety of perspectives, including delivery, governance, and outsourcing’s impact on the people within and outside of HR. The meeting will feature self-volunteered case studies from participants in all stages of their HRO arrangement, group discussions of universal challenges and innovative ways to address these challenges, review of current HRO trends and research, and guest speakers to provide an outside perspective.

“With the economic downturn, HR professionals are more eager than ever to find a viable HRO solution to help their companies reduce costs,” said Mark Squiers, executive managing director of ACS’ HRO business. “HRO World® is the ideal event that gives services providers like ACS a venue to showcase our expertise in time-saving and cost-effective HRO solutions.” The conference registration rate is $1,095. Discounted rates are available through May 1, 2009. Registration for HRO World® includes admission to the conference sessions and the Expo Hall, continental breakfast each morning, refreshment breaks, luncheons, and access to online program materials.
