HR Advocacy Questionnaire
To help prepare for the upcoming policy debates in Washington in the months ahead, SHRM’s Government Affairs team has developed the HR Advocacy Questionnaire.
We need to know what you think about key HR issues and your level of interest in supporting SHRM’s advocacy efforts by testifying before a legislative panel, talking to the media, or contacting a state or federal legislator with whom you may have a connection. Please take a minute to complete this questionnaire by clicking HERE.
