The HRIC Network was established as a simpler, more informal version of the former HRIC organization. This new organization was tailored to better meet the needs of its members in various ways – no dues, less time commitment, effective networking, collaborating with other members at meetings instead of hosting guest speakers, etc.

The HRIC Network group is also now comprised of HR professionals who better represent the needs of the 21st Century, placing greater emphasis on talent acquisition and management vs. recruiting, new Technology and HRIS, coaching and leading management development, safety and environmental concerns, health and wellness, computer-assisted training and HR orientations, organizational development, etc.
