Introducing SHRM Linkage and SHRM Linkage Institute

This decision was made collaboratively with key stakeholders—including branding experts, board members, clients, and employees—to ensure that our rebranding reflects both our vision and the needs of those we serve. 
 
The rebranding of Linkage and our flagship event, The Institute, marks a new chapter in our mission to advance and empower women in the workplace, from the backpack (students) to the boardroom (executives). This expansion underscores our belief in the collective effort to build a more inclusive workplace. To further support this, The Institute will broaden its offerings to include five distinct learning journeys for first-time attendees, alumni, men, military, and students—the next generation of the workforce.

 When we ensure that women’s advancement is prioritized in parallel with broader workforce optimization strategies and actions, we create environments where all can thrive and drive results. So, while the ‘words’ are changing, our ‘why’ has never been as important as it is today.

Thank you for your trust and partnership as we enter this exciting new chapter. Together, we’ll shape the future of the workforce through talent optimization and help build better workplaces for all.
