Maintain Your SHRM Credential with Recertification
HR professionals may maintain their SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credential by
engaging in professional development activities that relate to
the Behavioral Competencies and Functional Areas of Knowledge identified in the SHRM Body of
Competency and Knowledge™. SHRM created three avenues by which
SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP credential holders can earn PDCs: Advance Your
Education, Advance Your Organization, and Advance Your
Profession.
For more information on how to recertify, refer to the SHRM Recertification Handbook.

This holiday season, I would like to say how
thankful I am for each of you and for SHRM
Jacksonville. This Chapter has been active over the past year & it makes me proud to see
so many participate in networking and
professional development opportunities.
Our volunteer leadership team strives to ensure we offer you the best
programming at Chapter meetings and our annual conference, making sure
we help you stay informed, grow in your position and offer credits to help
you maintain your HR certifications. I hope that you have all found
meaningful development offerings and connections with your peers
through SHRM Jacksonville.
Allow me to take a moment and thank our Board members for their
tireless efforts and persistent focus on a successful year. It’s a pleasure
serving with these incredible leaders. A special thank you to Natasha
Slaughter, Chase Foy, Kristi Dennis, Chad Sorenson, Julie Fagan, Heidi
Barfield, Kim Biehunik-Justiss, Heather Cosgrove and Gloria Davis for
their hard work and returning to serve as a volunteer leader in 2018.
I also want to extend my sincerest gratitude to the following 2017 Board
members who are not returning: Angie Tekin, Alice Velez, Lisa Smith,
Chase Johnson, Ella Florica, Leigh Nelson, Marti Pounder and Chris
Scott. Each of them has served SHRM Jacksonville proudly, so please thank

we’ll see them active in the Chapter in other ways!

Developing 2Day's Employees into 2Morrow's Leaders
Finding top talent continues to be a key focus on HR leaders. One of the greatest
resources for finding talent is amongst our employees. Making that leap from employee
to manager can be challenging. Performing successfully in their current role does not
always prepare an employee for the new reality of managing. One of HR’s key strategies
should be investing in their human capital by developing management skills in those
interested employees; creating a pipeline of ready leaders.
Registration begins soon!

Simple Suggestions for New Year’s Resolutions Provided By: Lindsay Dennis Swiger Partner, Holland & Knight [email protected]; 904.353.2000
Believe it or not, 2018 is just around the corner. Now is time to start
considering New Year’s resolutions for your Human Resources team. Here are
two simple suggestions for resolutions that will benefit every employer.
Review and Update Policies
It is important that employment policies and procedures are up-to-date with
all of the changes that have happened in the past year that touch Human
Resources or the industry in which you work. Read the employee handbook.
Cover to cover. Although this is a tedious and time-consuming task, it is
essential that the handbook is thoroughly reviewed, updated and revised to
reflect changes in the law or the ways in which your organization operates.
Employees (and lawyers) rely on employer policies to make decisions. A non-
compliant handbook can have a substantial negative impact on a company and
its employees.
Conduct Sexual Harassment Training
Allegations regarding workplace harassment have been a major focus of news
coverage and social media activity lately. This will undoubtedly lead to a
heightened focus by employees on what their employers are doing (or not
doing) to prevent and address allegations of sexual harassment. An effective
workplace sexual harassment program has many elements, starting with a
legally compliant policy that notifies employees how they may report
complaints of harassment without fear of retaliation. In addition, the program
must include effective communication and training on the policy. Training
should occur at least annually. The training should be given to everyone in the
company and it should be treated as an important and mandatory aspect of
employment. And finally, be sure to keep records of who attended the
training, in case the issue comes up later in litigation.
