A storm is coming for HR. My advice? Run toward it. That was my message at the SHRM Annual Conference & Expo 2024. I had the opportunity to discuss the cyclone of changes coming for HR: 🌀 AI’s reshaping of work 🌀 Disappearing jobs and reskilling demands 🌀 Rising incivility and challenges to IE&D I posed the question: Are we prepared for it? I think we will be … IF we face reality and summon our courage and leadership. These changes will challenge HR and deepen our impact on the world. But we MUST bring our people and organizations through the coming storms. Will you run with us? #SHRM24 #HR #HumanResources

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce’s annual meeting where we celebrated the great work Deborah Gandy did as our Board Chair and welcomed our new Chairman Mark Carrier. It was also a meaningful surprise to be recognized with the Impact Award for DEI with my fellow inaugural DEI Board Advisors. I’m so grateful to partner with other leaders in our community who also believe in the importance of inclusivity to create positive change. Yesterday, we observed Juneteenth and my colleagues at NFP, an Aon company held a great webinar earlier this week to share individual stories, offer additional education, and reflection. As we commemorate the contributions African Americans have made to our country, I encourage you to continue to assess the effectiveness of your DEI initiatives. This is intentional, ongoing work towards progress. If you need extra help ensuring you have fair and equitable opportunities, hiring and pay practices, my team of certified diversity and inclusion experts at Helios HR would be happy to have a conversation. It’s one thing to be intentional about diversity, it’s another to provide a culture, a community and a world - where everyone feels a sense of belonging. #Juneteenth #DEI #DEIadvisory #DEIB #inclusionandbelonging #inclusivity #diversityandinclusion
