Advancing The Profession
By Mostafa Sayyadi
 
Most organizations have plans going well into the future, including strategic goals spanning five to 15 years.
 
 
In the spirit of continued competition…SHRM presents a new challenge for 2020:
 
SHRM’s A-Team is growing and aims to have more than 20,000 members by the end of 2021. Though it is important we educate members on workplace policy through A-Team participation, it’s also important that we give members the skills, training, and resources needed to effectively advocate for solid workplace policy and sound strategy within their organizations. Realizing that this type of professional development is core to the work of HR professionals, we developed Advocacy@Work.
 
Advocacy@Work is a brand new, two-day immersive training and practical experience for attendees to learn how to use their voice to change workplace public policy at the national, state, and local levels. It provides attendees the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and learn how advocacy can make an impact on both policy and within your workplace. This event will not only provide members insight into workplace public policy, but also how to use persuasive storytelling to impact change in their organizations.
  
If you have any questions regarding the A-Team or Advocacy@Work, please reach out to Bailey Yeager at bailey.yeager@shrm.org.

Enhancing the SHRM Community
  
The Able Trust is excited to announce the launch of the ABLE Network (A Business Leadership Exchange). The ABLE Network is created to support Florida businesses as they strive for a disability inclusive workforce. It is made up of business leaders who have a desire to share their diversity & inclusion experiences and to learn from other colleagues. The ABLE Network is a B2B/peer-to-peer network and operates primarily through local leadership groups. The network also engages with the Able Trust’s statewide workforce inclusion initiatives.
 
ABLE Network members have the opportunity to:
     · Learn proven strategies to advance disability inclusion in the work- and marketplace;
     · Cultivate relationships between business, community, and academic partners; and
     · Become thought leaders for disability workforce and marketplace inclusion.
 
We are currently recruiting business leaders who want to be a part of growing the ABLE Network in their local area, and we know that listening is the first step. This fall we are holding a series of virtual “Listening Sessions” to solicit input on how an ABLE Network could meet your specific diversity & inclusion needs. Register today, as spots are limited.
