About SHRM Advocacy

Driving Holistic Change in the World of Work

For more than 75 years, SHRM has worked to drive holistic change in the world of work and now serves as the foremost expert, convener and thought leader on issues impacting today’s evolving workplaces.  

As the voice of its members, SHRM has focused on policy — not politics — to impact legislation. Our members represent the backbone of the business community and are the connective tissue in our workplaces, serving employees and employers alike. More than 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies rely on SHRM as their go-to resource for all things work and as their business partner in creating next-generation workplaces. 

SHRM Public Policy Priorities

SHRM pursues nonpartisan public policy efforts and elevates the voice of HR in discussions on policies affecting the world of work. HR professionals sit at the intersection of work, workers and the workplace, providing SHRM with the unique voice, policy perspective and technical expertise necessary to successfully advocate for major policy issues. 

HR professionals and business executives expect SHRM to be a vocal advocate for key labor, employment and safety issues.
