Newsletter Article #2
“How About Those New SHRM Forums?!”
Have
you checked out the new Forums on the SHRM website?? You can click
on the channel on the left side of the home page marked Forums.
This will take you to the Forums home page. From there, you will
find a selection of forums to choose from.
The
Forums are new resources at SHRM for information and networking.
They provide news, research, interactive dialogue, member
information sharing and specialized web casts for specific
“niches” of HR. There is a forum for:
-
Employment
and recruiting issues
-
Resources
for HR consultants
-
International
HR
-
Focus
on HR technology
-
Compensation
and Benefits issues
-
Focus
on HR Metrics
-
HR
in High-Tech Companies
-
HR
in Media Companies
In
any of these forums, you can find information specific to the area
of HR. If you are a specialist or have a major accountability in
one of these, you can come to this forum to get the most
“up-to-date” information available on that topic. You can also
sign up to receive a periodic e-newsletter.
Each
Forum also has designated web casts for members who opt in.
Although these web casts are free to members, you must sign
up for them in advance. Most have been pre-approved for
recertification credits for PHRs and SPHRs. The web casts are then
archived and are available for viewing and listening 24/7.
Members
are also encouraged to “help build the forum” by contributing
articles and web links that relate to the forum and would be of
value to our members. Since quality and timeliness are of utmost
importance to SHRM, there is a “peer review” process for
articles submitted by members.
Since
the inception of the new Forums, SHRM has had a tremendous
response from members who enjoy a “one-stop” shopping approach
to finding subject-related material. So, try it!
And let us know how you like them and what you would like
to see added to them. www.shrm.org/forums
