The editors of the SHRM Certification Update are pleased to announce the winners of the 2021 SHRM HR Haiku Contest, celebrating National Poetry Month. Art in any form helps people seek connection and common ground, and poetry in particular is a great facilitator of communication. (HR professionals, take note: Poetry readings or contests are an appealing way to build employee engagement and can be done in person or remotely.)
Winners were chosen in four categories: HR & the COVID-19 Crisis (still relevant this year, unfortunately), The HR Profession, SHRM & Certification, and HR Comics & Cynics.
