Irvine-based Workforce Management magazine plans to move its operations to the Chicago headquarters of its parent company, Crain Communications. A leading publication for work force executives and human resources professionals, it is one of the oldest, largest and continuously published trade publications in the U.S.

“With our current lease expiring, we have a wonderful opportunity to move closer to the company fold in Chicago,” says Workforce Management Vice President and Publisher Todd Johnson. “This move allows us to further enhance the strong editorial and publishing relationships we have within Crain and provides us with tremendous operational advantage and efficiencies in utilizing the existing infrastructure we have in one of our company’s core offices.”

Acquired by Crain in 2002, Workforce Management has more than 52,000 print and 400,000 registered online subscribers. It also produces several e-mail newsletters, including Workforce Week. Its twice-monthly print newsletter, Dear Workforce, has a Q&A forum for human resources experts. The publication also produces the industry-respected Optimas Awards, now in its 20th year.

Family-owned since 1916, Crain Communications is one of the largest privately held business publishers in the U.S., with nearly 30 business, trade and consumer publications and related Web sites in North America, Europe and Asia. Among the titles it produces: Advertising Age and Automotive News, which have become required reading in their respective sectors.
