Welcome to the Tamworth Region
There are a lot of reasons why the Tamworth region is attracting people and business. People are attracted to the lifestyle, healthy environment, vibrant retail sector, excellent sporting facilities and many employment opportunities.
Businesses are investing in the Tamworth region because of its growing population, its central location between Sydney and Brisbane, and its strong 'can do' attitude, as shown by the development of our internationally recognised Tamworth Country Music Festival into one of the world's top ten music festivals. In addition, significant infrastructure such as the Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre and the proposed $29 million Equine Centre give the region a significant competitive advantage.
All this goes to show the Tamworth region is truly 'Making it Happen'.
Award for Excellence in Human Resource Management
As our economy transitions to a knowledge economy, successful businesses will be those able to manage their key knowledge assets – their people. Concurrently, intergenerational trends mean that businesses will face intense competition for people resources. Again, those businesses which place their human resources front and centre in all that they do will be best positioned for success.
TRDC has initiated the Award for Excellence in Human Resource Management to recognise local businesses who are embracing HR management as a point of competitive advantage. The Award will be presented on 12 September 2008 as part of the 2008 Joblink Plus Quality Business Awards presented by the Tamworth & District Chamber of Commerce.
The Winner of the inaugural 2008 award will not only win the right to promote their success but will also be entitled to one (1) free place in TRDC’s business coaching program “Staffing for Success in a Competitive Labour Market” running February to May 2009 and valued at $1,990.00.
Applications close 15 August 2008.
