SHRM Foundation is Focused on Helping Communities
SHRM Foundation is focused on helping communities recognize untapped talent. Workers from untapped talent pools, such as veterans, military spouses and caregivers, individuals aged 60 or older, disabled workers, those with a criminal record, and opportunity youth (non-student unemployed youth), provide high return on investment and unique, in-demand skills. And greater inclusivity in hiring practices opens doors to more equitable and diverse work environments where both business and employees can thrive.
With almost two-thirds (65%) of organizations reportedly not yet working on developing talent pipelines for untapped groups of workers, there is more work to be done to ensure these individuals are not left behind and to capitalize on the value they bring to employers. The SHRM HR activation center, developed by the SHRM Foundation and Walmart, offers HR professionals and employers tools, assessments, and guides to improve hiring strategies and elevate diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in the workplace.
