SYRACUSE — SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management) recently awarded CNY SHRM its EXCEL Platinum Award for the local chapter’s accomplishments in 2019.
The EXCEL award is given to state councils and local chapters to recognize major accomplishments, strategic activities, and tactical initiatives that elevate the profession of human resources, according to a CNY SHRM news release.
Over the course of 2019, CNY SHRM said it implemented several initiatives in support of the local HR community. It helped organizations meet sexual-harassment training requirements to remain compliant with New York State laws, worked to educate employers on the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and promoted the hiring of candidates with a criminal background. The chapter said it also offered guidance on the topic of work-life complexities that many HR professionals face and provided the opportunity for members and non-members to attend a CNY SHRM board meeting.
The EXCEL Award can be earned at four levels: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Each level has a prescribed set of requirements and accomplishments that must be met. CNY SHRM will receive recognition in SHRM publications and at conferences, a logo to display on its website, and information to share with its members about the significance of the award, per the release.
