SHRM: Together Forward @Work

In August 2020, SHRM launched an initiative called "Together Forward @Work", a call to action to bring racial equity to the workplace. SHRM believes HR can drive social change in the workplace, and that everyone - HR professionals, executives, people managers and emerging professionals - has a part to play. Their Blue Ribbon Commission on Racial Equity will:

• Assess the effectiveness of current programs and models including barriers to success.
• Identify and scale programs that have been shown to successfully address pipeline, recruitment, and retention in diverse workplaces.
• Outline a step-by-step roadmap to create inclusive, diverse and safe workplaces that apply accountability measures at all levels of the organization.
• Produce and curate content and tools that will foster continued professional development in increasing equity in the workplace; share these resources with SHRM chapters and members.
• Drive a longer-range agenda on organizational diversity and bias in the workplace.

Join SHRM and HR professionals across the country by taking the pledge and committing to racial equity in your workplace. You can also visit the SHRM Blog to read President and CEO Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.'s announcement of the initiative, and learn more about what you can do to take action on this critically important human rights issue.
