The Society for Human Resource Management’s Government Affairs program anticipates and addresses regulations and legislation that could change the way human resource (HR) professionals perform their jobs. SHRM's Government Affairs department actively works to shape the outcome of legislation and regulatory proposals that affect the HR profession.
As part of the program, SHRM:
- Represents the interests of members to policymakers in Washington. Click HERE to learn more about how SHRM's public policy positions are developed.
