Done with SHRM and want to take some action? I got you, we just launched a petition over at Equitable HR Guild! SHRM's recent actions and long-standing issues, such as high costs, outdated practices, lack of DEI focus, corporate bias, and anti-union stances, have made it clear that SHRM is no longer a reputable authority on HR. Join us in this call to divest from SHRM and support more inclusive and equitable HR practices. By moving beyond SHRM, we can open doors to a broader pool of talented HR professionals and build more diverse and inclusive teams. We envision this petition as a way to bring our collective voices together to advocate for meaningful change. Consider these calls to action: 🔺 Let your SHRM certification lapse. 🔹 Remove SHRM certification requirements from job postings. 🔸 Embrace more diverse qualifications. ◾ Stop sponsoring or attending SHRM events. 🔻 Promote equitable and inclusive HR education. 🔸 Advocate for better representation to lawmakers. 🔹 Commit to embedding DEI in your HR practices. Sign the petition at the link below and help us drive the change we wish to see in our workplaces. Please share as well! Big thank you to Angela R. Howard, Mahal Maningas, and all the folks I've chatted with over the last few days who helped make this possible!

Are There Templates For Employee Handbooks Available To Me? There are many templates for employee handbooks available, which can serve as a great starting point for creating your own. Here are a few options to find templates: 1. Online HR Resources: Websites like SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), Workable, and Rocket Lawyer offer a range of resources, including templates for employee handbooks. Some of these may require membership or a fee. 2. Legal Services: Online legal services like LegalZoom or Nolo often provide templates tailored to comply with general legal standards. These services might also offer customization options for your specific state or industry requirements. 3. HR Software: Many HR software platforms provide tools to help create and distribute employee handbooks. These platforms might also ensure that your handbook stays compliant with any updates in employment laws. 4. Professional Consultants: HR consultants or legal professionals can provide personalized assistance in creating an employee handbook that meets all legal requirements and aligns with your company culture and policies. 5. Free Online Templates: A simple web search can yield free templates that can be downloaded and customized. Be cautious with these to ensure they meet the specific legal requirements of your location and sector. When using a template, it's important to customize it to your organization's specific needs. Consider factors like your business size, location, industry, culture, and specific operational practices. It's also highly advisable to have the final document reviewed by a legal professional or an HR expert to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations. This step is crucial because an outdated or legally inaccurate handbook can create rather than mitigate legal risks.

I'm pleased to share that I've been featured in an article on employee engagement - a topic I am personally fascinated by - in SHRM. In the article, I emphasized several key principles: 1️⃣ Engagement is more than perks; it's about fostering a culture of respect and value. 2️⃣ Clear communication of organizational goals is essential for engagement. 3️⃣ Genuine recognition is a powerful motivator for teams (hint: a thank you or shout-out can have a huge impact on morale and motivation!)
