Following up on the publication of The Outsourcing Professionals’ Guide to Corporate Responsibility, by Van Haren Publishing, the complimentary webinar from IAOP will feature co-authors Bill Hefley, PhD, COP and Ron Babin, DBA, PhD, COP.

“Global awareness surrounding social responsibility is at an all time high," said Hamill.
