The Georgia Department of Corrections struggles to fill some of its more than 11,000 employee positions statewide and also has an interest in preparing inmates to get and keep jobs in their communities after they are released. So Georgia DOC Commissioner Gregory C. Dozier had both topics in mind when he came to the Workforce Readiness Conference hosted by the Statesboro-Area Society for Human Resource Management. With Labor Commissioner Mark Butler also on the program, Dozier was one of two state government department chiefs and one of three keynote speakers at SHRM's Sept. 22 event.
