SPS SHRM Community Conversation on SHRM's Inclusion & Diversity Decision September 10 - Tuesday at 4pm PT (Virtual) JOIN US TO DISCUSS Open to ALL HR Folks! Register to receive link invite https://lnkd.in/gMiCf3Am WHY: On July 9, SHRM President and CEO, Johnny C. Taylor, announced that SHRM would be going from DEIAB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility & Belonging) to ID (Inclusion & Diversity). Since that time, the Washington SHRM Board had an initial discussion on the SHRM ID decision that ended up with mixed reactions.
