SHRM elevated the voice of HR before Congress, federal agencies, and state legislatures in 2024, advancing HR’s perspective on such critical issues as untapped talent, the growing role of AI, and access to paid family leave. Here’s a review of some of SHRM’s wins last year, as highlighted in SHRM’s 2024 Year-End Review Advocacy Impact Report. “2024 has been a pivotal year for HR policy,” said Emily M. Dickens, J.D., SHRM chief of staff, head of government affairs, and corporate secretary. “Through thoughtful advocacy and collaboration, SHRM has solidified its role as a trusted advisor to policymakers worldwide. These achievements reflect our mission to elevate the workplace for employees, employers, and HR professionals alike.”
