The 23rd Annual State of Michigan Personnel Officers' Conference examined the workings of employee relations with employee organizations. The highlights are reported in this manual. A panel of speakers from industry and education provided conference participants with different points of view and a broadened outlook in the difficult areas of grievance handling and discipline. The program also included information on training activities, special employment programs, safety, and driver education, the pay-setting procedure, the overtime advisory board, the staff's Upper Peninsula communications meetings, selective certification, the multiphasic health screening program and a survey of attitudes and opinions on current dress and appearance trends. Staff representatives answered questions from personnel officers dealing with policies and procedures. (NL)
