DUBLIN, Calif., Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TriNet, a leading provider of comprehensive human resources, today announced the launch of TriNet PeopleForce. The inaugural event of this virtual conference will take place October 20-22, with small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) participating in sessions focused on maintaining and growing business during times of uncertainty. Attendees will learn, network and discuss critical topics that are top of mind from a diverse group of renowned business leaders, politicians, educators, doctors and thought leaders on critical, timely issues—ranging from diversity and racism in the workplace to employees' mental health to issues impacting bottom lines such as legislative updates, healthcare costs and maintaining cash flow.

"SMBs are the backbone of the U.S. economy and they have been impacted by the global pandemic," said TriNet President and CEO Burton M. Goldfield. "TriNet PeopleForce is a new type of business conference that aims to educate SMBs on what they need to do to stay relevant today and into the future, with advice from top thought leaders on how to address and adapt to current events and trends that are challenging their businesses. Due to TriNet's unique business position of working with 18,000-plus SMBs that employ approximately 313,000 worksite employees, we have insights into the issues and trends entrepreneurs and business owners are asking, worried about and interested in discovering."

"The future of work is here and, much like everything else in 2020, it is unpredictable and rapidly evolving but, at the same time, full of opportunity for those businesses that are innovative and adaptable," added TriNet Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Communications Officer Michael Mendenhall. "This conference has been strategically designed to inspire, inform and invigorate entrepreneurs and business leaders by taking a deep dive into what is on the horizon for small and medium-size businesses, and how they can navigate through the future to improve their chances of success."  

TriNet PeopleForce will bring together some of the brightest minds from government, education, healthcare and beyond.
