Are you attending the SHRM conference in Chicago? Attending the SHRM Conference can be a rewarding experience if you prepare well. As a seasoned participant, every year I get a ton of questions on how to prepare and what to expect. Here are some helpful hints to make the most of your time there: 1. **Wear Comfortable Shoes**: The conference involves a lot of walking and standing. Comfortable shoes will keep you from getting tired too quickly. 2. **Dress in Business Casual Attire**: Look professional yet comfortable. Business casual is the norm, but check the weather and venue for any specific guidelines. 3. **Plan Your Days Using the Conference App**: The SHRM Conference app is a valuable tool for scheduling sessions, locating rooms, and staying updated on any changes. Take some time before the conference to map out your must-attend sessions and events. 4. **Be Prepared to Network**: Networking is a key part of the conference experience. Be open to meeting new people, and don't hesitate to strike up conversations during breaks and social events. 5. **Attend Parties and Social Events**: Many vendors and organizations host parties and social events. These are great opportunities for networking in a more relaxed setting, so take advantage of them. 6. **Bring an Extra Suitcase for Swag**: You'll likely collect a lot of freebies, brochures, and possibly even some prizes. An extra suitcase can help you bring everything home without hassle. 7. **Don’t Forget Your Business Cards**: Business cards are essential for exchanging contact information quickly and easily. Make sure to bring plenty, as you'll meet many new contacts. 8. **Stay Hydrated and Snack Smart**: Conferences can be long and tiring. Keep a water bottle with you and some healthy snacks to stay energized throughout the day. 9. **Engage on Social Media**: Follow the official conference hashtag and participate in discussions on social media. It's a great way to connect with other attendees and stay informed about real-time updates. 10. **Take Breaks When Needed**: It's easy to get overwhelmed with so many sessions and activities. Listen to your body and take breaks to rest and recharge. 11. **Bring a Portable Charger**: Your phone and other devices will likely be in constant use. A portable charger can be a lifesaver to keep your gadgets running all day. 12. **Follow Up After the Conference**: After the event, follow up with the people you met. Send personalized emails or connect on LinkedIn to maintain and build on those new relationships. By keeping these tips in mind, you'll be well-prepared to make the most out of your SHRM Conference experience. See you in Chicago!

SHRM studied civility in the workplace - the cornerstone of workplace culture. Are polarizing conversations undermining your culture? 92% of Americans say they have engaged in uncivil interactions in the workplace. In this podcast, Alex Alonso, PhD talks about the negative impact on #employeeretention, along with solutions to address incivility in the workplace. #humanresources https://lnkd.in/e2yiCCHD

I'm finishing up my workshop deck for HR Indiana on building engagement with your remote/hybrid team and I'd love some examples of what has worked for you. What aspects of managing remote or hybrid work have required the most attention? How do you maintain positivity? How do you ensure that communication is a priority? My two cents: Doing remote or hybrid work well takes many more resources dedicated to communication strategy and leadership than are required for a 100% in-person workplace.

One week of class left until a much needed break. This week's grad school thought journal - ironically - is from an article on HR practitioner's competence and the power of reflection. When I read this, I had these thought journal posts in mind. I guess I am doing something right?!?!?! "Reflection allows us to challenge our assumptions and beliefs and piece together the fragmented parts of our professional lives in increasingly meaningful ways that are more aligned with the theory and research of the profession. In the process, reflective practitioners’ knowledge deepens and their skill set moves into higher levels of proficiency on the novice–expert continuum." - From "Practitioners in Applied Professions: A Model Applied to Human Resource Development" by Ruona and Gilley

This week, SHRM, a leading organization for HR professionals, announced a significant change in its terminology. Moving forward, SHRM will use the acronym "I&D" to represent inclusion and diversity, omitting the term "equity" from the previously used "IE&D." Despite this shift, SHRM emphasized that its commitment to advancing equity remains unwavering. The organization believes that prioritizing inclusion will drive holistic change in workplaces and communities. President and CEO Johnny Taylor, who introduced the change at SHRM's annual conference, stated, "We’re going to lead with inclusion because we need a world where inclusion is front and center. And that means inclusion for all, not just some. Everyone deserves to feel they belong in the workplace and that they are included." What are your thoughts on this shift? How do you see it impacting your workplace or the HR field at large? #InclusionAndDiversity #WorkplaceInclusion #HRTrends https://lnkd.in/gdHEN4sS

“HR is at a crossroads of talent, smart technology and learning. It’s time for the industry to determine how to go forward.” Learning and development innovator Elliot Masie’s keynote at SHRM Talent 2024 gave me a lot to think about. She called on HR practitioners to advocate for usability and practicality when it comes to smart tech. What are you doing in your workplace to implement innovative tech responsibly? #SmartTech https://bit.ly/3vTRZ91
