HR: Stepping out on Uncharted Paths!
with minnie lenox

VIRTUAL - Zoom Link in CONfirmation email.

We will explore the paths that HR has taken and look at ways to navigate these uncharted paths ahead. There is a “Paradigm Shift” taking place right before us.  Look at today’s world events:  they  are affecting our workplaces, especially our employees.  HR is being uniquely positioned to do some amazing things like help to undo systemic inequities that have become so embedded in our workplaces for generations.  HR has a voice and it needs to let go of that fear of conflict, because it will happen, but evaluate and educate all about the facts surrounding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Are you ready to accept the challenge to move into this arena?

A true American success story, Alliance Rubber Company owes its beginning to the ingenuity of one man – William H. Spencer, who left his Franklin, Kentucky home in 1904 at the age of 13. Traveling by rail to seek adventure, he found himself in Alliance, Ohio in 1917 with less than $3, and began working for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Six years later on March 7, 1923, he obtained a few Goodyear inner tubes and cut the bands by hand in his basement where he founded Alliance Rubber Company. In those days, newspapers were blocked and thrown in the general direction of the porch. After seeing the Akron Beacon Journal blowing across lawns, he persuaded them and the Tulsa World to try wrapping them with a band. He went on to pioneer other new markets for bands, agricultural and industrial applications as well as a myriad of other uses.

After almost a century, Alliance is still a family owned business with a rich and distinctive American heritage. What started as a simple, practical, and reliable solution for everyday life has been transformed by our 150 Alliance Rubber Company team members into a multi-faceted collection of more than 2,000 products and tools designed for “Holding Your World Together.” Our associates make the difference in our brand. Their attitude and passion for quality of customer service shines. Over 60% of the Alliance Rubber Company team has been with the company for over five years, enabling us to make some of the world’s best banding products at our manufacturing facility in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
