Welcome to the SHRM Government Affairs webpage. Here you will find information about the HR public policy issues SHRM is monitoring, as well as the positions the Society is advocating both in Washington and in state capitals across the country.
Thomas Jefferson once said, “America is not governed by the majority, but by the majority of those who participate.”
Jefferson's belief about the impact political advocacy had on Government 200+ years ago still rings very true today. That's why SHRM has embarked on a 5-year initiative to establish the SHRM Advocacy Team; a network of SHRM member advocates throughout all 435 congressional districts across America. To read more about this initiative, click HERE and/or download the brochure available in the column to the right.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the public policy issues SHRM is advocating on and consider exercising your HR Voice by actively participating in the political process of government. Check out the "Get Involved" tab in the column to the left to get a flavor of what SHRM member advocates are up to.
