| Greetings again from your SHRM-GT President this year. What a fabulous honor to be president when SHRM-GT is completing so many exciting accomplishments! Just like your workplace, no one does it alone. It takes many people, in this case volunteers, many hours, days and months to make something happen. It often starts as a simple conversation, “wouldn’t this be better if...?” or “maybe we could try ….?”. These small conversations become big dreams and accomplishments if we just follow the path.
For example, the Celebrating Innovation in the Workplace awards program started that way. About 2 years ago we began talking about “what-ifs” and “maybes” and the result was new focus on what is critical to businesses, and therefore HR; a new process that was easier and reached a broader population; a new program format that included a keynote speaker with a topic intertwined with the program, and so much more. The efforts resulted in a milestone event that will impact other programs in terms of relevancy and partnership with HR professionals and leaders in the business community.
How about the great work of our Programs committee, presenting monthly workshops with great speakers on Rewards and Recognition, and Managing Organizational Change? I know I left those workshops with some great ideas and steps to implement. And the efforts of the Professional Development/Study Group that helps our colleagues prepare for certification exams; or the Workforce Development Committee that helps students prepare to get a job and be successful. Our Legislative/Government Affairs produces informative newsletters with updates and alerts to support our roles. Our Leadership Development committee reaches out to connect members and committees looking for volunteers. And Membership that evaluates applicants to SHRM-GT and welcomes them with information, resources, and a great breakfast! And behind the scenes, well almost, our administrative group that makes it all look so easy. Thanks for all you do!
But enough about SHRM-GT, let’s continue to discuss the planning we started at the beginning of the year. For me, I started to ask myself and my colleagues, how we can better support our leaders and to create a program to identify and develop future leaders. Wow, that created a long list. And not letting myself off the hook by saying I am so busy, and maybe they aren’t ready, and where do I start…okay, that did happen. But eventually I started to create a list of components that I could address that would make a difference. I listened to webinars (if you know me you know I am a webinar junkie), I drew on my white board, I made a list of things to read more about, I bought a few books and shared them with others, and I started a pile of related articles. How did you do? Did you pick a topic and get started? Did you not get started “yet”? There is still plenty of time left in the year. So again, I challenge you to be able to look back on 2013 with a great sense of accomplishment –against many odds-and know that you made a difference in your career or organization. I know it will be something you speak of proudly in the years to come.
Hope to see you at future workshops and I would love to hear about your project planning or professional goals and the work you have begun.
“Do what you can, with what you have, and where you are” Theodore Roosevelt |

| Greensboro AHEC, in collaboration with the NC Employee Assistance Professional Association, has created a free online course with you in mind.
Register today to meet your continuing education needs.
CLICK HERE for the flyer
Treating the Invisible Wounds of War (TTIWW): Employee Assistance in the Civilian Workforce is approved by the HR Certification Institute for 2.75 PHR credits. While employers have responded enthusiastically to hiring members of the military, many supervisors are concerned about how the emotional and physical toll of combat operations might impact some service members and their loved ones, particularly should potential problems spill over into the civilian workplace. This course, created on behalf of the UNC-CH Odum Institute, with funding from the Bristol Myers Squibb foundation, will equip human resource professionals with the skills and resources needed to help military-affiliated individuals in the workplace.
Key Topics:
- Military culture and structure
- Impact of deployment/reintegration on families
- Impact of deployment/reintegration on employee performance
- Transitioning between military and civilian workplaces
- Military resource referrals

The use of this seal is not an endorsement by the HR Certification Institute of the quality of the program. It means that this program has met the HR Certification Institute’s criteria to be pre-approved for recertification credit. |
