Meet Anita Grantham, Dean for Talent Optimization at SHRM HR-X Live! 🎓

She’ll challenge you with three questions about talent:
- Would you enthusiastically rehire this person?
- Are they performing to the expectations you set?
- Will they keep getting better the longer they’re on your team?
Simple questions. Powerful implications.

Anita believes HR has the power to drive business performance in ways the world has yet to fully realize. Her take? AI and great tools mean very little without great people behind them. As she puts it: “People are the hub of every great thing that happens in organizations.”

At HR-X Live!, Anita brings bold thinking, direct insight, and strategies you can use right away. Don’t miss it! 🚀

Drop a 👋 in the comments to introduce yourself to Anita before meeting her in person June 27–30 in Chicago.

Big news: the SHRM Foundation has been awarded a landmark grant to Reframe Care at Work.

Selected from nearly 900 applicants, we're one of just 18 organizations chosen through the Workplace Innovation Now (WIN) Challenge, led by Aspen Digital — and we're using this grant to launch Reframing Care at Work, in partnership with Topos Partnership and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation.

This three-year initiative reframes workplace caregiving not as a cost or accommodation, but as a core strategy for workforce performance and competitiveness. With roughly three in four workers also serving as caregivers, the opportunity for HR to lead this shift has never been greater.

As the SHRM Foundation marks 60 years of advancing HR as a force for good, this is our next bold step.

We're keeping a pulse on the latest workplace trends — and this one might surprise you.

66% of workers across 26 countries report low concern about AI leading to job loss in the next year. That's not apathy. That's an opening.

When employees feel confident, they're ready to learn, adapt, and grow. HR's role is to channel that momentum — guiding your workforce toward the skills and mindset that shape what's next.

That's what's on our radar. What's on yours?

Meet Alex Alonso, SHRM's Chief Knowledge Officer — and a reminder that managing your health takes a village.

Alex lives with diabetes, and from day one, SHRM has supported his experience. The flexibility to step away and check his blood sugar, access to food and drinks whenever he needs them, and a culture where he never has to explain himself have all made an impact on his daily journey.

As Alex leads SHRM's knowledge and research work, his peers and team have shown up for him in ways that are both personal and practical — because an organization that champions healthy workplaces starts by building one from the inside out.
