Now, as we continue to work with clients around the world, we thought we’d celebrate where we came from, and look into the future of HR as we see it. Visit our website to learn about the company’s beginnings, how we’ve kept pace with developments over a century, ad the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for HR:

A Look Ahead
Dean Aloise, global HR consulting leader, examines the innovative culture George Buck established and ties our legacy to the future.
In his “Our History Has Always Been About the Future” white paper, Aloise looks forward to the workplace of 2020 and examines the need to advance HR’s advocacy role through innovation, insight, and technical know-how in three major areas:
- Designing and administering health programs that reflect business goals and employee needs
- Focusing on the financial success of the business while supporting the financial future of employees
- Developing and implementing a people strategy that drives business success
