Aurora University hosts free business workshop

Aurora University is hosting a business workshop titled “Establishing a Customer-Focused Environment.” The free event takes pace Nov. 30 at Aurora University.

Andrew Meeks, managing partner at Oak Consulting, will speak at 8 a.m. in University Banquet Hall at Alumni Hall, 1410 Marseillaise Place. Networking and refreshments are at 7:30 a.m.

“In today’s less-than-perfect economy, the importance of the customer cannot be understated,” Meeks said. “The question is not why companies should be customer-focused, but how to do so effectively.”

Meeks will discuss proven strategies that have been successfully implemented across multiple manufacturing and service industries.

Oak Consulting is a human resource consulting company that specializes in career-transition services and organizational development. Meeks has more than 12 years experience in consulting and counseling with a background in career counseling, talent management, organizational assessment, executive coaching, conflict management and team building.

The program is sponsored by the AU Human Resources Institute, an educational and networking event presented by the university’s Dunham School of Business and Human Resource Management Systems in Naperville. Reservations are requested. Call (630) 844-4894 or (630) 844-4917.
