Erika Osmundson, Director of Marketing Communication for AgCareers.com, recently spoke with AgWired’s Jamie Johansen about an upcoming event- the Ag and Food HR Roundtable.  Now in it’s 13th year, the Roundtable is set to take place in St. Louis, MO on Aug 4-6.  The event will address the issue of human resources in the ag industry.

With an expected turn-out of 240-250 HR professionals and  university career services attendees, human capital will be the focus of the discussion.

“We’re going to talk about recruitment  and retention of human capital in the industry.  It’s a hot topic at all levels in busiesses and so we’ve got some really good topics lined up for this year,” Osmundson related.  Human capital, she further explains, is about how to find the right people and how to engage them in your business so you’re not always looking for replacements.Erika Osmundson Discusses Roundtable
