"Helpful Platform for HR Professionals"

4/5

Describe the project or task SHRM helped with:

SHRM is an excellent resource for new or old HR professionals to get the information, policies, resources, templates, and breaking news that affects the HR industry. We commonly use it to find templates on new procedures. As a younger company, we don't have as much structure yet as more significant, older companies, so using SHRM to find the resources we need to continue providing our employees with a structured and transparent company is excellent. We don't use any other resource besides SHRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SHRM?

SHRM has templates that we take advantage of most often. Rather than writing an entire policy itself, we often can use their templates and then tweak information that is relevant to our company. We also often use the breaking news email and homepage to update us on new laws that affect the workplace, such as new COVID vaccine restrictions. The emails, when not spam, are often useful for information that we should be aware of without my having to review the homepage everyday for updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SHRM?

There are some times where SHRM doesn't have tools that seem pretty basic- but to be honest, I cannot provide an example because it happens relatively infrequently. There are times when a policy template is over simplified and doesn't give examples of realistic situations in life, but this is also infrequent. Overall, we are delighted with SHRM, and I cannot think why I would stop using these resources ever. The email notifications are probably the only thing I dislike- I want to keep them on because once in a while there is important information to be aware of, but overall they send out multiple a day which seems excessive.

Recommendations to others considering SHRM:

You will not be wasting your money with a membership here! SHRM is an essential guide for any Human Resources professional. There is no other website as comprehensive and easy to use as SHRM for all your business essentials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SHRM solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a small company, we do not have must guidance when it comes to handbooks, policies, and procedures. We have received a lot of advice using the resources that SHRM provides on their website. We often use the Templates function, which has saved us hours writing the policy from scratch and helps us maintain legal requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
