HR & Development
PPAI’s mission is to be the voice and force to advance the promotional products industry, and the Association’s business services members play a critical role in that mission.
The promo industry’s business service providers support industry companies’ operations with a wide range of resources and capabilities. This week, PPAI Media is spotlighting human resources and development services they offer promo businesses. These providers can help companies with recruitment, employee engagement and a number of HR policies and procedures, whether they don’t have a full-time HR staff or need to provide that staff with assistance in key areas.
Many of these business services providers will be on hand at The PPAI Expo 2025, which takes place January 14-16 in Las Vegas.
