SHRM president, Johnny C. Taylor Jr., predicts another challenging year for HR during an address to workforce professionals.
Taylor emphasizes the need for HR professionals to rise above challenges in three key areas: diversity, equity, and inclusion; preparing for job displacement due to AI; and promoting workplace civility.
He mentions the decision to drop 'equity' from SHRM's policy platform to protect HR professionals, highlights the impact of AI on job loss, and stresses the importance of reskilling efforts for all age groups in the workforce.
Taylor concludes by urging HR to address workplace incivility and foster mutual respect among employees, emphasizing the crucial role HR plays in promoting a positive work environment.
