Supporting HR Professionals at Every Stage
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is a global organization focused on advancing the HR profession and helping create workplaces where both people and organizations can thrive.
SHRM's mission is to “empower people and workplaces by advancing HR practices and by maximizing human potential.” Today, SHRM represents nearly 340,000 members across 180 countries, providing HR professionals with resources, research, education, certification, and a professional community.
Why SHRM?
HR professionals are asked to navigate increasingly complex workplace challenges—from changing employment laws and employee relations to emerging technology and evolving workforce expectations.
SHRM provides resources designed to help HR professionals stay informed, make effective workplace decisions, and continue developing throughout their careers.
SHRM resources include:
- HR Tools & Templates — Access sample policies, forms, checklists, job descriptions, interview questions, toolkits, and other practical resources.

SHRM Membership
SHRM membership provides expanded access to SHRM's professional resources, tools, guidance, education, and community.
SHRM and NIHRA memberships are separate. You do not need to be a SHRM member to belong to NIHRA; however, many HR professionals choose to participate in both to combine SHRM's broader resources with the local professional development and connections available through NIHRA.
