SHRM

Did You Know? The SHRM Civility Index empowers HR Leaders to take action. More than one in three workers say their leaders use condescending language toward them. That’s not a communication gap. It’s a leadership gap — and you have the power to close it. Every day, 104 million acts of incivility happen at work, costing organizations more than $2.6 billion in lost productivity and absenteeism. Civility isn't a soft skill. It's a leadership skill. Respectful communication, active listening, and genuine inclusion aren't nice-to-haves. For today's workforce they're the standard.

Meet Dan Hozik, a member of SHRM’s Ask an HR Advisor team — and proof that major life milestones can feel less stressful with the right support. When Dan and his wife welcomed their new baby, open leave gave him the space to be fully present, with no rigid timelines and no pressure to rush back. And when new expenses started stacking up before he was even FMLA-eligible, access to the Origin app helped him navigate the financial side of a brand-new chapter. As Dan’s family grew, SHRM showed up in ways that were both personal and practical. Curious what it’s like to build your career here?

On Women's Equality Day, Carolynn Johnson, MBA, President of SHRM Center for I&D and interim CEO of SHRM Linkage, names a quieter truth: many of the decisions that shape career advancement never get written down.   The stretch assignment. The high-visibility project. The nod that says, "You're next."   These career-defining moments compound over years. They decide who grows, who gets seen, and who steps into leadership next.   Here's what we believe at SHRM: when advancement criteria are written and transparent, the path becomes visible. People know exactly what it takes to move forward. Leaders gain the clarity to develop and advance talent confidently and consistently, no matter the gender. That's how you build stronger pipelines and open real opportunity across your organization.   That's the work we lead. Join us at the SHRM Linkage Leadership Institute or BLUEPRINT for I&D, November 16–18 in Nashville, to build stronger leaders and fairer systems: https://lnkd.in/exbzwXn9

As we approach the last few days of National Civility Month, consider this. Workplace incivility reached an all-time high this summer, in society and at work. For HR professionals, incivility at work is more than a culture concern. When employees feel dismissed, disrespected, or unwelcome, the cost shows up in the work in the form of turnover and lost productivity — and HR is positioned to change that. You are closest to this challenge. You set the policies, coach the managers, and shape the standards that determine how workers treat each other every day. Finding common ground does not mean avoiding disagreement. It means creating space for people to communicate across differences with respect. Healthy debate is a sign of a strong culture, not a threat to it. What are you doing to counter rising workplace incivility?
