A Look Back

SHRM has added a new course to its curriculum of Diversity & Inclusion Seminars• Global Cultural

Competence for Business Leaders was piloted at SHRM HQ in December

• The course is aimed at anyone who works across national borders to achieve organizational success.

A new DVD, “Charting Your Path to Success,” is available at the SHRM Store

• The video features Dr. Shirley Davis and Eric Peterson of SHRM

• The video is intended for new and emerging Diversity & Inclusion practitioners

In 2011, SHRM began a successful partnership with the Families & Work Institute (FWI)

• By combining FWI’s content expertise with SHRM’s reach and influence, both organizations hope to make a real impact on the way employers approach Workplace Flexibility

• A new Work/Life Conference debuted in November, 2011

• SHRM/FWI was recently awarded a Sloan grant worth $985,000 to continue this important work.

The 2011 Diversity & Inclusion Conference focused on “Game Changers.”

• The conference featured two concurrent session blocks, devoted to innovative thinkers who have fundamentally altered the way that Diversity & Inclusion is practiced.

• “Game Changers” represented the US Military, research institutions, and Harpo Studios.

SHRM’s Diversity & Inclusion Standards Taskforce is writing the first-ever D&I Standards

• SHRM is the only organization licensed to create ANSI-certified standards in HR and Diversity

• These standards will, for the first time, define minimally effective D&I practices for organizations across the country

• It’s very likely that some/all of these standards will move on to ISO, the International Standards Organization

Standards In Progress:

• Diversity Program Standard

• Top Diversity Professional Standard

• Diversity Metrics Standard

A Look Forward

In 2012, SHRM’s Speakers’ Bureau will debut two new D&I-themed keynotes• “Charting Your Path to Success” (based on

the DVD presentation) will detail what D&I practitioners need to know (and do) in today’s organizational landscape

• “Workplace Flexibility: The Next Imperative for Business Success and HR Leadership” details both why and how organizations embrace a new way of working that serves both employers and a 21st Century workforce

SHRM can offer (and customize!) any of its educational offerings for your workplace!

• SHRM Diversity & Inclusion Strategic Leadership Program (15 Strategic Recertification Hours)

• The Diversity Practitioner of the 21st Century (7.5 Strategic Recertification Hours)

• Global Cultural Competence for Business Leaders (7.5 International Recertification Hours)

• Any of our keynote speeches

SHRM continues to place an emphasis on D&I issues of critical importance to today’s workforce

Veterans’ Employment

Global Cultural Competence

SHRM’s 2012 Diversity Conference will be held in Chicago from Oct. 22 through 24

• Efforts are underway to create specific networking and educational opportunities for members of the Diversity Core Leadership Area

• As always, the conference will provide insights and inspiration to those in the D&I field

In 2012, the Diversity & Inclusion Standards now being written will open to public review

• Anyone interested in the content of the Standards may comment on the final drafts

• Every comment received must be responded to, according to ANSI guidelines

• SHRM is counting on its members, particularly the Diversity Core Leadership Area, to participate in this important step of the process

• When public review begins, more information will be made available re: where/how to comment

Any questions?
