The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) hosted its annual conference and expo in New Orleans June 12–15. HR professionals, executives, managers, and students gathered from all over the country to connect and learn together. Over 200 sessions provided expert industry insight on recruiting, career growth, HR technology, diversity and inclusion strategies, leadership skills, and so much more. With the catchphrase “Cause the Effect,” each speaker at SHRM’s conferences implored HR leaders to create a ripple effect of positive change, especially in the wake of the last 2 years’ challenges.
SHRM’s CEO, Johnny C. Taylor Jr., recalled a question asked of him that he posed to all HR professionals: Are you a thermometer or a thermostat?
