NEBRASKA STATE LEGISLATURE UPDATE  SHRM Nebraska has its eyes on numerous legistative bills which could affect the HR Community.  Check them out here.

March officially tagged HR Professional Month - thanks for all you do!

LINCOLN -— The SHRM Nebraska State Council embraced their role as a leader for human resource professionals with a statewide educational effort focussed on small business.  

District Director West Ray Weinberg, SPHR, CCP, visited six locations across the state logging more than 600 miles to speak at every local chapter in the state.  More than 150 small business owners and employees were treated to a two-hour overview that included the top ten pitfalls and opportunities that come with employing people.

Weiberg, who helped author the HRCI Certification Guide, compiled HR information directly relating to small business. He cited a study that showed small IT firms who emphasized HR strategy from the outset had a 66 percent higher survival rate.

"We're living in a different culture as employers," Weinberg said.  "It's said that almost 50 percent of employees who quit their jobs in 2010 did not have another job at the ready.  HR people aren't just hiring and firing.  We impact culture as well." 
 
Even for small businesses, Weinberg emphasized strategic practices and the need to focus in on the HR task without becoming the do-everything newsletter editor, blood drive director and holiday party purchaser.

Weinberg provided information on HR audits, when to call a lawyer and insurance for employee-related issues.  The council is already discussing future small business events and additional support through its revamped website.

The council also worked with Nebraska State Governor Dave Heineman to declare Nebraska HR Professional Month during a ceremony March 13 at the Nebraska State Capitol Building.  

"Human Resource Professionals are a key component of any organization’s senior management team proving active involvement in shaping corporate policy," Heineman said in his proclamation.  "Thousands of HR Professionals throughout Nebraska provide employees a stable work environment with equal opportunity for learning and personal growth."
