Human Resource Outsourcing Pioneer to Visit Jacksonville, Florida; Jay Whitehead to Give the Media’s Perspective on $59 Billion HRO Industry

(Jacksonville, FL) April 14, 2006 — One of the pioneers of the human resources outsourcing (HRO) industry is coming to Jacksonville to show businesses and organizations how they can become more efficient through the strategic use of HRO.

Jay Whitehead, president and publisher of “HRO Today” and “HRO Europe” magazines, will present the keynote address at “Human Resource Outsourcing: The Technological Advantage,” Thursday, April 20, 2006 at the Jacksonville Marriott Hotel, from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. The event, sponsored by SingleSource Services Corp., in conjunction with the Jacksonville Chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), includes a continental breakfast. Cost is $25 for SHRM members and $35 for non-SHRM members. To register, visit www.singlesourceservices.com or call (904) 241-1821.

”Any $59 billion fast-growth industry that completely transforms its clients businesses is bound to create confusion, fear and opportunity,” Whitehead said. “The HRO phenomenon has swallowed the HR profession whole. This event will help keep your career and company ahead of the HRO curve.”

In addition to his media career, Whitehead has led several HRO businesses. He helped create the industry, coining the now standard term “HRO,” and then “FAO,” which has become synonymous with the $98 billion Finance and Accounting Outsourcing market. Most recently, he and 22 industry colleagues co-founded the HRO Association, which has more than 1,000 members nationwide.

"We are hosting this event to launch our new learning and resource initiative,” SingleSource CEO Donald J. Dymer said, “because sharing knowledge is one of the most personally rewarding things we do.” According to Dymer, seminar participants will gain a deeper understanding of how their organization can save money and create time to develop and retain a more productive team by using “online tools to manage people.”
