SHRM Restructures In Face Of Recession

The Society for Human Resources (SHRM) is restructuring to meet the needs of members coping with the worst recession since the Great Depression. In addition to shuffling employees around and eliminating the position of COO (but never fear, former COO China Miner Gorman is now the head of the global member engagement division), the organization’s putting a premium on getting out information that can help its 250,000+ members deal with recession-specific challenges: the best way to handle layoffs, for example, or how HR pros themselves can bounce back after losing their jobs.

The organization also nixed its plans to raise dues, and is allowing laid-off HR pros to keep their membership active for now.
