SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 26
(By Senators Oliverio, Jenkins, Unger, Chafin, Williams, Yost,
Minard, Kessler, Foster, Stollings, McCabe and Prezioso)
Designating February 16, 2010, as "West Virginia Human Resources
Day."
Whereas, Human resources, also known as the people managers,
refers to how employees are managed from small businesses and
municipalities to large corporations and national governments; and
Whereas, Traditionally, human resources dealt with the part of
an organization or company that was responsible for hiring, firing,
training and other personnel issues; and
Whereas, Today, human resources encompasses a vast area of
diverse and dynamic issues that affect the everyday lives of our
workforce; and
Whereas, In an effort to enhance morale and productivity,
limit job turnover, and help organizations increase performance and
improve results, human resource workers also help their companies
or organizations effectively use employee skills, provide training
and development opportunities to improve those skills and increase
employees' satisfaction with their jobs and working conditions; and
Whereas, Especially in today's economy, human resources has
become increasingly difficult as companies and organizations have
instituted cost-cutting measures requiring human resources workers
to play a vital role in tackling these issues sensibly and responsibly for their company and employees; and
Whereas, The West Virginia Senate believes that the diligent
people that work tirelessly in the area of human resources should
be acknowledged and honored; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate designates February 16, 2010, as "West
Virginia Human Resources Day"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to the appropriate representatives of
West Virginia Human Resources Day.
