Please Complete the HRM-RI Online Member Survey Now!

by Lynn Watterson, SPHR, President of HRM-RI

I urge you to take a few minutes to com-
plete our Member Survey. It is critical for us to know the needs and expectations of our members. What we learn from this survey will enable us to plan programs and benefits of value to everyone.

   

In addition, this information will also serve as the foundation for the marketing plan which we are in the process of developing. Our intent is to devise a marketing strategy that will raise awareness that the Human Resource Management Associa-
tion, as a SHRM affiliate, is the leading HR professional association in Rhode Island.

Survey of Senior HR Professionals on Strategy

Want to understand more about how HR can increase its value with senior teams in terms of strategy???

In support of SHRM's interest in advancing the HR profession and in preparation for the Tri-State Conference to be held on May 18 and 19, 2006, we are conducting a survey of senior HR professionals (chief HR officers, directors, and managers) on the subject of strategy. This survey was designed by Dr. Michelle Stronz as part of research work done at Columbia University. Michelle currently is a professor at Quinnipiac University and has been a long-standing volunteer leader for the SHRM-Connecticut State Council.

The survey measures HR leaders' views on the learning capacity of their organization where it comes to strategy and strategy implementation. Detailed results will be presented as part of the Chief HR Officer Track during the Tri-State Conference. The closing date for the survey is April 15, 2006. Your input will be valuable as we assess this critical success factor in the ability of the HR profession to advance its capability and credibility.
