SHRM has formed a Committee to develop credible Diversity and Inclusion Standards that will meet the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) guidelines. This is about a year and half process, that once completed will be available to all Human Resource professional at no cost. There is a briefing posted on the TSC website to answer questions that you may have such as:
· Why is SHRM doing this?
· How are the ANSI standards being done?
· What is this "Standards" thing and why should I care?
· Who is involved in developing the standards?
· What are the Steps in developing this standard?
All of the answers are available in the presentation on the SHRM Texas State Council website by clicking on "Committee" and then opening the Diversity section. Please direct any questions to the SHRM TSC Diversity Director.
Women’s History Month – The evolution of a month to honor women began on March 8, 1857, when garment workers in New York staged one of the first organized protests by working women. Women’s groups internationally have designated times to mark this day. In an effort to begin adding women’s history into educational curricula, a Women’s History week was initiated in 1978. By 1981, the week was a national event, and in 1987, the National Women’s History Project petitioned Congress to include all of March as a celebration for women.
