Human Resource Management (SHRM). Since 1948, this Society has
developed and provided programs and services to improve the
professional knowledge of human resource professionals. At the same
time, SHRM has worked to create a broader understanding of the
importance of human resource management and has served as the source
for information about developments in the field.
