It is an honor to host former President Clinton,” said SHRM President and CEO Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP. “Since leaving office, President Clinton has focused his efforts on issues that are in line with building better workplaces and a better world by promoting economic growth, health, job creation, and sustainability. I know this will be a compelling and revealing insight from President Clinton.”
After his presidency, Clinton established the Clinton Foundation with the mission to improve global health, strengthen economies, promote healthier childhoods, and protect the environment by fostering partnerships among governments, businesses, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and private citizens to turn good intentions into measurable results.
