The battle for equality in the workplace is an ongoing struggle. The lack of true inclusion leads to incalculable stress and anxiety among workers and erodes workplace cultures. Something has to change. That’s why SHRM launched the Together Forward @Work platform in 2020. It’s why we’ve released a new 2021 Blue Ribbon Commission Report on Racial Equity. And it’s why SHRM membership is so important to this effort, to the employees you serve and to your work as an HR professional. In fact, a SHRM membership is the best investment you can make in your career. Membership provides access to the latest diversity, equity and inclusion news, trainings and other resources and support to help you build better workplaces that work for all. And that will change everything.
