SHRM Members Mobilize to Urge End to Government Shutdown
As the federal government shutdown continues, SHRM Members across the country are raising their voices to call for action in Washington, D.C. Through SHRM’s Advocacy Action Center, nearly 1,000 SHRM Members have already contacted their lawmakers, urging them to act swiftly to restore stability for workers, workplaces, and families.
This shutdown is not an abstract policy debate — it affects every person, organization, and community that relies on federal funding. SHRM research shows that up to 860,000 federal employees are being furloughed each day, and nearly half of HR professionals report that their organizations were unprepared for this disruption.
Each day this shutdown continues, its ripple effects deepen, placing added stress on HR professionals, workers, and families nationwide. SHRM continues to urge Congress to come together to resolve the current budget impasse and prioritize the well-being of America’s workers and workplaces.
