Investing by Giving Back
The most effective advances in HRIS knowledge will come through significant investments of time, talent, and resources by each of us as HR professionals.
Although there are certainly many ways for us to contribute to these advances, we will focus on two specific areas which may not be as obvious.
First, invest your time by partnering with a university that has a commitment to HRIS education.
Few universities are able to deliver the level of HRIS training they desire and would value opportunities to partner with HR professionals and their companies.
Second, consider investing your resources by financially supporting the IHRIM Foundation or a local university. By doing this, you will be investing in research initiatives,
education initiatives, and the professional development of the field. By investing financially at your local university, you also support opportunities for student learning and scholarships for those majoring in HRIS and benefit from their education afterwards.
