According to a recent article by Aliah D. Wright, SHRM editor and manager,
HR professionals are moving from business "partners" to "anticipators" those who use data to predict talent gaps in advance and provide insights into
how talent relates to business goals. By looking to
the past and anticipating what's next "anticipators"
show business leaders that HR has the knowledge to
shape future needs of the organization.
Josh Bersin, principal and founder of the consultancy
Bersin by Deloitte, states, "New skills we see needed
for HR professionals include statistics, analytics,
technology, [industrial organizational] psychology,
assessment science, coaching and, of course, all the
elements of leadership," he said.

SHIRLEY SCHULTZ
Director of Consulting Services for
Provenir
Shirley has been a member of SAHRMA since
2006. According to Shirley, her professional career
has been "non-traditional". After completing two
years of college majoring in English, Shirley
suspended her professional career to be a
professional mother. After 10 years of nurturing her
2 children, she decided to return to work.
Shirley summed up her HR career and relationship
with SAHRMA with these thoughts:
Shirley Schultz
"During those years I could not have survived without SAHRMA. Not having a
background in Human Resources, I relied on SAHRMA and SHRM for
anything and everything I needed. I joined both organizations and utilized all
the resources available to me to develop a recruiting program, write a
handbook, and create an evaluation system, an onboarding program, a
mentoring program and a compensation system.
The most important and sustaining values are the networking and sharing of
knowledge that I gained from attending SAHRMA events. I have made many
lasting friendships throughout the years and those friendships are the people
that I brainstorm with on issues. SAHRMA has been so important to my
continued career as a consultant and mentor that I have chosen to participate
on several committees throughout the years to give back because I received
so much. Read Shirley's Bio

Prescott, JD,

Promoting workplace diversity has many bottom line
benefits. But you need to approach the hiring
process holistically - retaining employees can be
more difficult than recruitment. This is especially
true for companies in less diverse regions where
relocated minority employees may feel
disconnected. You may need to take a more active
role in helping them adjust to the culture at work as
well as in their new communities.
First, identify what your needs are. Does your
workforce resemble the communities that you
operate in? Do they match the demographic that
you serve or want to serve? If not, develop a hiring
strategy to increase workforce diversity.

Caregiving Takes a Toll on Employees
Caregiving Takes a Toll on Employees
- Their Employers Can Help
by
Dawn Cunningham
It's a challenge for employees and a reality for
employers - working family caregivers. Nearly 2 out
of 3 workers age 45-74 have caregiving
responsibilities for an aging or other adult relative.* Working family caregivers
have increased stress, more missed work and lower productivity rates.
Companies pay 8 percent more in health care costs for workers with
caregiving responsibility vs. those with none. This costs employers about
$2,100 per employee for U.S. companies.
Most of these employees face their caregiving role unprepared, not knowing
what resources are available. The Alamo Caregiver Support Coalition is a
coalition of business partners who came together to formulate communitybased support and training for caregivers. The ACSC can help these
employees by: providing no cost on-site educational programs, presenting inservice training, identifying community resources and information, and sharing
useful caregiver resources. Arming caregivers with these tools will improve
their productivity, morale and attendance, in turn boosting the company's
bottom line.
For more information on how the ACSC can help a company and its
employees, email the ACSC at cgcoalition@acewings.org
The Alamo Caregiver Support Coalition is a sub-committee of the Bexar
Senior Advisory Committee, Bexar and Alamo Area Agencies on Aging,
AACOG.
