Welcome to CTSHRM: The Voice of HR In Connecticut
Dear Connecticut SHRM Member:
Greetings! We have crossed over into a year filled with questions on how to proceed in one of the toughest economic times in our history. A new administration holds hope for an unprecedented stimulus package to reroute the economy and get things humming again. A bright light is focused on Human Resources now more so than ever with so many demands on our functions and possibly more to follow.
People who have been spared their jobs are asked to do more with so much less fearing future outcomes. We need to stick close together and respond to potential opportunities rather than react to fear. We all know friends, colleagues and even family members who have been downsized, losing their jobs and most often their hope. I believe it is our duty as HR professionals to help one another out with networking and sharing job opportunities (not only in the HR field but across the board) with our fellow members.
I can not think of a better way to increase one’s exposure to other professionals who are willing to help you as well as educate one self on the products and services a company or organization offers in terms of business opportunity than by joining a local chapter.
I am always open to new suggestions and ways of improvement, making things better for all of us. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any idea, inquiry or concern. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you the very best in your HR field of expertise and career fulfillment!
Appreciatively,
Stephen Dombrowski, M.A.HRD
State Director, SHRM Connecticut HR Council
