What is a transitioning membership?

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) provides active members who are unemployed at the time of the membership renewal a one-time opportunity to extend their membership for up to one year—at no cost! SHRM believes this continued affiliation to our loyal members will help transitioning members stay current on the issues impacting the HR profession and provide them with the needed resources to assist them in their job search.

Additionally, the member must be unemployed at the time he or she applies for a transitioning membership. Student members do not qualify for transitioning membership status.

Before activating a transitioning membership, the requestor must communicate his or her unemployment status to SHRM via e-mail, fax or mail.
