CalChamber’s HR Shameless Plug Awards Contest
How should I approach this?
Have some fun! Video quality doesn’t need to be perfect; you can film it with a high-quality production camera or your cell phone. Use claymation, drawings, visual effects . . . or any tactic that gets the point across. The goal is to portray CalChamber as the HR compliance expert and business advocate for all California employers, regardless of size or industry.
Here are some ideas to kick start your entry:
• You can promote how one of our products solves an HR issue or issues.
• Show how membership to CalChamber saves you time and money.
• Promote HRCalifornia, the Labor Law Helpline, Employee Handbook Creator, California Harassment Prevention training or focus on smaller components like wizards, forms, checklists and other tools.
• Show how CalChamber shines when it comes to understanding employment law in California.
• Focus on how CalChamber helps small, medium or large businesses.
Once your entry has been reviewed and posted by CalChamber, share your entry often.
Make no mistake, you are creating an advertisement for CalChamber. The message should be positive and communicate a solution or service that you know CalChamber delivers. Entries can be serious or humorous but all should demonstrate how a CalChamber product or service either solves a problem or makes your employment law compliance easier. All entries must comply with the Rules.
Even if you don’t win, we may use your ad.
