(PRWEB) May 5, 2007 -- WorldatWork, an international association of human resource professionals focused on attracting, motivating and retaining employees, today announced plans to open a Washington, D.C. office in the fall. The Washington office will enhance the Arizona-based organization’s efforts to help educate government decision-makers regarding effective practices involving compensation, benefits, work-life, performance and recognition, development and career opportunities.
The new WorldatWork office will be located in the Franklin Square North building at 1100 13th St. NW, Washington, D.C. The new 24,000-square-foot office will house a training center, bookstore, member library, and staff offices.
The non-partisan, not-for-profit education association has 30,000 members and constituents worldwide, including nearly 1,400 members located in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Through education, membership, conferences and publishing, WorldatWork advances knowledge and practice in “total rewards,” a system of connecting employee engagement to business performance.
“This facility will provide easier access to the vast repository of WorldatWork resources,” said WorldatWork president Anne C. Ruddy, CCP. “This includes a state-of-the-art training center that will provide our members with new opportunities to advance their knowledge in the field.
In addition, our new Washington office will allow WorldatWork to participate more fully in the legislative and policy-making discussion as a knowledge source on executive compensation, benefits and total rewards.”
Current plans call for a move-in date on or around September 1, 2007.
