“As a HR professional, I was able to use my company’s EACC membership early on to discover what other international organizations, such as Lafarge, were doing in respect to employee retention and engagement. There is a lot of information on common issues we can share that will help each other make more effective business decisions. In addition, the EACC’s relocation resources have proven to be very useful, often leading to a positive work and social experience while working and living in Cincinnati.”
Matt Versluis, Area Human Resources Manager, Lafarge Gypsum, Lafarge North America, Inc
