“We have reached a pivotal moment for HR executives as companies begin to reset for a post-pandemic future,” said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, SHRM President and CEO. “It’s up to HR executive leaders to design our workforces for the coming years. The SHRM Executive Network will help deliver greater HR innovation and best practices from the very top level of HR.”
The SHRM Executive Network launched with the announcement of a new Executive Council, which met virtually for the first time today and convenes CHROs from organizations including Microsoft, Mastercard, and Chipotle to explore pressing workplace issues and elevate the HR profession. The Executive Council will provide insight on emerging business strategies and commission research to further shape the world of work as we know it. Their efforts will inform the SHRM Executive Network as it supplies CHROs and HR business partners with a competitive advantage through access to thought leadership, proprietary resources and an elite network of global industry executives.
“To reshape the future of work, HR is tackling the most pressing issues facing our workforce,” said Sean Sullivan, SHRM-SCP, SHRM Chief Human Resources Officer. “Through the SHRM Executive Network and the Executive Council, SHRM is in lockstep with HR leaders in their mission to improve our workplaces.
