 Welcome to the Philadelphia Chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management, or as we endearingly call it “Philly SHRM” or “PSHRM”!
As a SHRM member, you are in for an exciting season from September 2008 thru June 2009 with the Philly SHRM Chapter! Our main goal this year is to enhance your business competency for your role as a Human Resource leader. You have an opportunity to be a leader in bringing value to your business and you can be sure our organization can support you.
For too long, HR professionals have complained that we don’t have a seat at the table in being strategic and having a say in how our companies achieve optimum performance. Yet, we believe passionately that we can and should impact business performance through HR.
This year, we would like you to ask yourself this question: “Do I have what it takes to provide business value and if not, how can I get it?” We have one way – by getting involved with Philly SHRM.
Here is what Philly SHRM has planned for your 2008-2009 season:
- Business Value in all our programs so you can provide value back to your business
- Networking for valuable professional relationships
- On-line networking via Philly SHRM Linked-In to create and maintain HR connections
- Partnership with The Philadelphia Business Journal to bring you local and regional news
- Data to help you win the continued war for talent
- Business relevance through our Professional Development Series
- Achieving Excellence within our Leadership Series for Senior Directors and Managers
Come join us and you will receive value that enhances your ability to be a business leader and contributor from the HR perspective - That is a promise we are inspired to deliver.
