Importance and Purpose of the SHRM Advocacy Team (A-Team) • Intended to build upon successful but ad-hoc country-wide efforts in place • Two participation levels • HR Advocate • Advocacy Captain • Four “soloist” lobbyists vs. “choir” of 270,000+ SHRM activists • Members represent diverse opinions (260,000 voices of information) • Members comprise entire spectrum of employer settings
Developed to ensure when policy decision-makers (legislators, regulators, etc.) develop workplace policy, the voice of HR is heard via a “local network” Since MoC’s are most responsive to their constituents, informs legislators of policy impacts upon employers in her / his district SHRM members best understand / are best suited to communicate how public policy affects employees, employers & the HR profession as a whole SHRM’s Regional-Chapter structure & congressional districts do not align Importance and Purpose of the SHRM Advocacy Team (A-Team)
