MONTREAL, Sept. 22 /CNW Telbec/ - The 13th World Human Resources Congress will take place at Montreal's Palais des congrès from September 27 to 29. The Ordre des conseillers en ressources humaines agréés invites the media to join us for this world-class event, held for the first time in Canada.

The Congress program, focusing on the theme HR Without Limits, includes close to 100 sessions in English, French and Spanish, presented by the world's greatest thinkers from countries as varied as France, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Switzerland, the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The impact of new technologies, change and innovation, diversity, leadership, environmental responsibility, compensation, the new world of work, and health in the workplace are just some of the themes that will be addressed. This is a unique occasion to compare the challenges Quebec faces in the world of work with those of the rest of the world and to discover the latest trends impacting the profession.

The sessions will be held at the Palais des congrès de Montréal (1001 Jean-Paul Riopelle Place).
