Certification...If you are thinking about becoming certified, visit the HR Certification Institute website (www.HRCI.org). Learn about HR Certification and Recertification Tips (includes Get Recertified the low cost way). This is a quote from HRCI:
HR Certification Sets You Apart...Earning HR Certification
- makes your résumé stand out from other job applicants. One out of two recruiters prefer those with HR certification
- earns recognition from your organization. Business leaders find HR certified professionals to be more self-motivated
- connects you to an elite network of motivated HR professionals around the globe. More than 108,000 certified HR professionals work in more than 70 countries and territories
Any questions about certification, please visit the NHRC website, or contact Denise Wydra.
Communications...Are you looking for an opportunity to volunteer but have only a limited amount of time? Are you looking to Network or maybe help other’s learn about educational opportunities? We currently have volunteer opportunities that would take 5 minutes a week or even a month! The communications committee continues to build NHRC’s presence in social media and we have plenty of ways that you can contribute on a busy schedule. Interested? Email Corrin Capeles. We are also excited to leverage our relationship with ILSHRM and work with other local SHRM affiliated chapters.
Community Relations...Home Of The Sparrow Coat Drive...Thank you all for a wonderfully successful Coat drive for the Home Of The Sparrow. We delivered 4 car loads to a few of the Thrift Shop locations. The stores were very appreciative of our donations. We are proud to represent a great group of members and on behalf of the Home Of The Sparrow we want to say thank you!
We intend to continue giving back through various non-profit organizations throughout the year. We will be back to you soon with another way to generously give back to those that are in need!
Membership Committee...The membership committee is in the process of organizing a Membership Orientation to coincide with our March 2012 general meeting. This will be an opportunity to learn more about the benefits of being an NHRC member. This orientation will be open to anyone – new members, existing members that want a refresher on the benefits or potential members that would like to learn more about NHRC. You will be able to meet some of the board members and ask questions. Watch for more details to follow in the upcoming month.
Program Committee...The Program Commitee is busy planning the general meetings for the first quarter of 2012. On January 12, 2012 Michael Hahn from Beyond Good Teams presented "From Surviving to Thriving: Retain Your Key Talent Through the Recovery". Mark your calendars for our another general mession on February 9th (speaker details to be announced). On March 8th, Kathleen Caldwell from Caldwell Consulting Group will present Becoming a Strategic Human Resources Professional.
Survey Committee...Free critical current Human Resource information FREE! By participating in the NHRC on line surveys members can contribute to and obtain the current information on human resources from other companies in your backyard. Being able to defend your business presentations with facts from the local job market makes increasing the trust you generate from others on your team priceless.
One of the goals of the survey committee is to provide opportunities to compare your human resource environment with other businesses. To meet that goal in December, NHRC published the Group Medical Plans for Nonexempt Employees. As we begin to gain momentum into the new year, the Miscellaneous Policies and Practices is under study so that the survey can be delivered to the membership in February. Some of the topics included in the survey are, Safety, Discipline, Rules/Employee Conduct, Casual Dress Policy, Percentage of Benefits to Payroll Costs, and Turnover rates. Please look for the e-mail from us that will bring the chance to gain current data to your desktop.
Vendor Relations Committee...As a not-for-profit, our Vendor Partners play a critical role in NHRC’s mission to provide information and resources that complement the needs of our members. NHRC offers a variety of opportunities for Vendor Partners to showcase their strategies and solutions and to engage our network of HR Professionals. Budget-friendly options include Event Sponsorship, Website Advertising and Newsletter Sponsorship. Click here to learn more...
