A real pleasure to welcome my good friend Chris Havrilla to the show. Chris is the VP of Social Media for SHRM Atlanta. Chris is also a consultant that works with organizations on their talent acquisition and talent management strategies.

But on today’s show, we were here to mainly talk about the upcoming SHRM-ATL annual conference. On today’s show, Chris, Todd, and I discussed the following topics:

1. What is SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management), and why does it matter? It is, after all, one of the largest professional organizations on the planet…

2. Who joins SHRM? Individuals? Organizations? Both? The diversity of membership is incredible…

3. The importance of SHRM’s lobbying efforts…

4. What to expect from the SHRM-ATL Annual Conference: networking, breakout sessions, keynotes, and all the different tracks…

5. The National SHRM event, which is also being held in Atlanta…

6. Who should attend SHRM-ATL? Is it just for HR professionals? [Short answer: No.] Because talent is so important to transforming your marketplace…

7. The CRITICAL importance of talent development…and talent management…
