SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Workbrain Corporation (TSX:WB), the leading provider of total workforce management solutions for large enterprises, today announced that Open Compliance & Ethics Group (OCEG) President and CEO, Scott L. Mitchell and Executive Vice President, Carole Stern Switzer, will open the Tuesday agenda of its client and partner conference. The conference, held from October 15th - 18th, 2006 provides a collaborative forum to help Workbrain clients, partners and others accelerate their workforce performance by offering insight into the latest workforce management innovations, strategies and best practices.
In an age where organizations struggle to create and maintain processes and models that keep them compliant, this session - one of the conference's most timely and relevant - will provide information on how leading companies leverage value from compliance, governance and risk management. Mr. Mitchell and Ms. Switzer will discuss why businesses need to see the present governance environment as an opportunity rather than a challenge and will provide information on ways organizations can better arm themselves with tools to take advantage of these compliance opportunities. Mr. Mitchell was recognized by Human Resource Executive Magazine as one of the top 20 thought leaders in 2004 and 2005 and was recently named one of the "Top 60 Influencers" in corporate finance by Business Finance Magazine. Ms. Switzer has worked with industry experts in all aspects of compliance for over 25 years.
"While executives continue to keep a sharp focus on business performance, it's fair to say that organizations have more distractions than ever before," Mitchell said. "Increasing compliance obligations, greater scrutiny of company ethics and pressure to perform extensive risk management have left organization's with plenty on their plate - but it needn't be that way."
