The Association on Employment Practices and Principles (AEPP) and its parent, the Council on Employee Responsibilities and Rights (CERR), focus on the quality of life in work organizations, and promote an awareness of ethics, social responsibility and justice. We host annual international conferences that are personal, inclusive, supportive and democratic. We also sponsor the International Journal for Responsible Employment Practices and Principles (IJREPP), our official journal that continues in the tradition of our 23 year history of accomplishments and success in developing and editing the premiere journal in this field.
AEPP international conferences focus on providing a national and international forum for professional development, networking and social interaction among academics, consultants, executives and practicing managers. Our conferences are deliberately limited in number of participants to foster a supportive and friendly environment. Special emphasis this year will include encouraging "practitioner" engagement in varied track areas in addition to our traditional scholar emphasis.
2014 marks the 22nd Annual International Conference of AEPP. This year's theme: Transformation and Change for the Future: Employment Practices and Principles in Transition. Theme-related topics include employee engagement, social media, immigration reform, health care, managing demographics, managing work-life balance, global organizations, multi-cultural issues, boundary-less careers, new regulations on employment, layoffs, unemployment, delocalization of firms, executive compensation, rights to privacy, and other areas. Issues might be approached from the internal and micro point-of-view, such as employee relations and HR practices, to the more external and macro aspect, such as inter-organizational alliances and relationships, as well as inter-cultural dynamics. A full listing of track areas from which selections will be made are found below. We are very fortunate this year to be sponsored by the Austin Peay State University's School of Technology and Public Management. Also, Troy University will be lending their support, as well as the Institute for Leadership and Global Education (ILGE).
This is an opportunity to engage in the discussion of significant, domestic and international employment issues and visit a vibrant city in the Southeast with many points of interest and excellent transportation. Among other attractions, you can explore the world-famous honky-tonks, located on Broadway in Nashville, offering free live music 365 days a year. And with more than 130 music venues around town ranging from large arenas and concert halls to small intimate clubs, it's easy to see why this is the city that "music calls home." Nashville is also a living history lesson. A must-see is The Hermitage where U.S. President Andrew Jackson lived in the 1800s. Also worth seeing in Nashville is the Parthenon, the world's only full-sized reproduction of the Greek Parthenon in Athens, Greece. The official conference hotel is The Inn at Opryland.The conference rate is $169 per night, plus taxes. Mention the AEPP Conference when making reservations and do so before September 5, 2014 to obtain the discounted rate. More information about the hotel and Nashville is available online.
