Society for Human Resource Management
The current workplace is highly volatile, and human resource management (HRM) is critical for controlling the changing workplace dynamics. Human resources, including managers, play a vital role in enhancing organizational performance through employee development. They also foster a positive relationship between excellent HR practices and organizational performance (Chopra, 2018). Due to the essential role of HRs in organizational development, it is crucial to have organizations such as Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to guide HR professionals.
SHRM serves as the largest association for HR professionals. It is the thought leader on issues affecting today’s workplace, enjoying membership of over 300,000 HR and business executive members worldwide (SHRM, 2022). In guiding HR professionals, SHRM focuses on the professional development needs of its members. It works through research, regular educational publications, and legislative input to guide members on what happens in the everyday workplace while advancing the interests of the entire profession.
The current workplace is ever-changing. Like other professionals, HR professionals should be highly knowledgeable and adapt to be effective and efficient in the dynamic workplace (Sims & Bias, 2019). In response, SHRM assists HR professionals in understanding workplace issues. Understanding workplace issues is instrumental in leading and guiding change and supporting organizational leadership in employee development. Publications and legislative updates are essential resources for HR professionals to effectively and efficiently complete their tasks. SHRM also creates better workplaces where employers and employees can work together and thrive (SHRM, 2022). In such workplaces, conflicts are minimal, employees are valued, and interprofessional collaboration characterizes everyday practice. As leaders, HR managers are also better positioned to recognize and deal with workplace issues that hamper employee and organizational development, such as incivility and discrimination.

Thanks for your comments. SHRM standards have transformed human resources and played an instrumental role in developing and legitimizing this niche area of business. Sooner or later, organizations realize that their procedures are only as good as the people behind them. In the past I’ve done consulting work for very large, Fortune 500, international companies that place a large emphasis on quality processes and performance improvement. However, one thing I noticed over the years was that no matter how efficient and flawless their procedures were, if the employees were not satisfied and engaged, the bottom-line was impacted greatly. It certainly behooves leaders to value their people and show that they care. One advantage to SHRM is that it provides great training resources for HR professionals looking to really make an impact in their organization.
What are some HR tactics or programs that you have seen work in your company that help get employees engaged?
