SHRM FOUNDATION 2022 IMPACT REPORT
Answering the Three Most Critical Questions to Advance Belonging in the Workplace
In 2022, the SHRM Foundation measured its impact by one simple, but very tough metric:
We Must Improve Belonging.
One of the most important - and often underappreciated - elements to a better workplace is a feeling of belonging. A workplace where everyone feels that they belong is not only the essential foundation to a thriving organization, but it helps to create a better world. In 2022, the SHRM Foundation made fostering belonging one of our foremost priorities, allowing it to guide our work and unite us behind a shared vision of how we as an organization can have the greatest positive impact. Learn more about this in our Impact Report.
Impacting the World of Work
We widened pathways to work bridging the gap in hiring between people who value skilled credentials, and people who bring skilled credentials.
We created mental health interventions that decrease stigma and equip HR professionals to take practical, meaningful action to advance mental health initiatives in their workplaces.
We strengthened the HR field by advancing on-the-job training and guidance to expand opportunities for apprenticeships and mentorships.
