Let’s say you want to attract a group of HR managers to a benefits seminar. Where would you hold the meeting? One Houston company picked a unique venue that somehow must have a connection with human resources.
The company holding the seminar: BenefitsSpecialists.
The venue: The Houston Zoo.
So between lengthy lectures on HIPAA, FMLA and ADA, the attending HR managers got to mingle with and pet he likes of Luna the baby alligator, Lucky the chinchilla and Trixie the 18-pound Flemish giant rabbit.
Apparently, in an effort to increase revenues, the zoo has begun marketing itself as a site for business meetings of all types, including those for HR folks. Other cities are picking up on the idea, so you may see a seminar soon at a zoo near you.
And for those who can resist knowing: Yes, there was a seminar in Houston on COBRA. Yes, there was a cobra.
