In recognition of Texas’ Human Resources Awareness Month, proclaimed by Governor Greg Abbott, SAHRMA is helping to ‘highlight the important role HR professionals play in today’s workforce, fostering business excellence and promoting prosperity in Texas’.

We’ve made efforts in providing additional resources on our website, initiated monthly “Coffee Talk” zoom meetings, partnered with entities like the EEOC, and the Texas Workforce Solutions in promoting events to assist our HR professionals and local workforce.  (Please click on our website:  www.sahrma.org for a list of upcoming events).

We are especially excited to provide a well-prepared symposium to contain a panel of highly-qualified speakers in recognition of Global Diversity Awareness month:  Strengthening Strategic Alliances.  This particular presentation will guide us in ways to accomplish what Human Resources Awareness Month is intended to do.

There is not a more exciting time to embrace our HR professional than now.  If there is one thing COVID-19 has done, it has been to elevate the need for qualified human resource personnel.  SAHRMA is here to assist.  Now is the time to utilize the tools available, draw closer (socially distancing of course) as an association, seek guidance from our global affiliation, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).  WE are the only local affiliated chapter of SHRM in San Antonio.  Membership is an important component in our HR career.  Support us supporting you.

October is also a month of to celebrate all those taking the lead.  Did you know Boss’s Day is October 16^th?  In the HR world, we can take the lead to bring positivity to our workplace—virtually and in person.  Let’s use October to promote all things HR.
