There will be a lot of changes coming in the world of Human Resources. Are you and your company prepared? One step you can take now is review your Employee Handbook. Do the policies in your Handbook actually align with what your company is doing? Does the Handbook have the most up to date State and Federal legislation affecting your workers? Or has it not been reviewed since it was written 10 years ago? A review now can help save some headaches later on.

Yesterday, I let my SHRM-SCP expire. Three years ago, I had already disconnected myself from SHRM, but quietly decided to renew at the last minute on the last day of the extension. I rationalized that I worked hard and earned that and I needed the certification to prove I knew what I knew. This time is different. I don’t need a certification to know my worth. My experience, knowledge and talents exist with or without a piece of paper. What’s most important to me is that I’m aligning with organizations that share my values. That challenge and change me. That challenge and change the profession. Once upon a time, it was SHRM for me. Below is a pic of me speaking at SHRM National in Vegas in 2019 - I was also a blogger/influencer that year, a teacher of the SHRM certification course and a special expertise panel member. Shortly after I stopped all of those things. Now, I’ve grown and changed. But SHRM hasn’t seemed to grow along with me. Though I had already decided not to renew, the recent decision to drop the E also dropped any ounce of hesitation in me. I have friends working with SHRM. I have friends who have never had anything to do with it. I understand it’s a tough decision for many who have taken the test or gone to the conferences. I’ve been asked to a lot in the last month, and I can’t tell anyone what they should do. But I am going to tell them, and you, that you are worth more than a piece of paper. And if SHRM no longer is where you want to be, there are many other communities that are amazing like Hacking HR, PeakHR and Transform. And see many more in the community Google doc pinned to my profile. And remember, you are so much more than a certification. You are a wonderful, complicated human who deserves to be supported and challenged and changed as you work toward learning and unlearning and growing. #HRCommunity

You can show employees respect and still deliver strong financial results for your company. Respect doesn’t mean keeping underperforming employees in their job. That doesn’t show respect for the company, your shareholders, or your coworkers and doesn’t speak positively about your ability to manage anyone. Respect should be shown by treating your employees like adults and being transparent with them about their current performance and about your concerns for their future performance.
