Thriving Together
When HR leaders and employers understand and create conditions that comprehensively support their workforce's wellbeing, both employers and employees can prosper and thrive. Thriving Together is dedicated to equipping HR leaders and people managers with the tools and resources they need to build mentally healthy, thriving workplaces.
By addressing upstream stressors — such as social drivers of health, caregiving pressures, economic and family security, and overall well-being — the SHRM Foundation aims to foster cultures of excellence and care that are essential to shaping the future of work.

Building Resilient Workplaces for a Changing World
In today’s dynamic and fast-evolving environment, organizations face a growing array of challenges that impact both employee well-being and overall business success. Internally, companies are navigating increasing demands for mental health supports, equitable workplace policies, and fostering a genuine sense of belonging. Externally, businesses must contend with economic volatility, technological disruptions, and social movements, all of which require agility to stay competitive while meeting employee expectations.
To thrive in this landscape, organizations need to establish resilient support systems that enhance employee satisfaction, promote agility, and drive long-term performance. At the SHRM Foundation, we are committed to addressing the most pressing challenges facing today’s workplaces, and that includes building workplace cultures of care.
