What is SHRM Affiliate Program for Excellence (SHAPE)?

SHAPE outlines the minimum requirements for SHRM chapters and state councils to remain in good standing with national SHRM on an annual basis. It outlines goals and measurements that must be met in order for chapters and state councils to receive recognition from SHRM.  SHAPE is broken down into categories that every chapter should do to be successful and to operate smoothly. Some of the basic requirements include financial and legal management, chapter communications and promotion of SHRM. Other categories includes chapter operations, which among many things includes membership recruitment and retention. Member services is another category included, which encompasses professional development of members, award programs and employment assistance. HR Leadership in the community and general leadership in regard to college relations, diversity, government affairs, relationship building, information sharing HRCI Certification, SHRM Foundation and Workforce Readiness are also included in the SHAPE.

Greensboro, NC, May 5, 2022 — SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management) recently awarded Human Resource Management Association of Greensboro (HRMAG) its prestigious EXCEL Platinum Award for the HRMAG’s accomplishments in 2021.

The EXCEL award is given to state councils and chapters to recognize major accomplishments, strategic activities, and tactical initiatives that elevate the profession of human resources.  

“SHRM’s impact on the world of work is due to the dedication and efforts of our chapters and state councils like HRMAG. “The Platinum EXCEL Award is not only a celebration of the great work done by HRMAG —it’s also recognition of their focus and determination to cause the effect to make great workplaces”, said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, president, and chief executive officer of SHRM.  “Their HR leadership is exemplary.”

The EXCEL Award can be earned at four levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Each level has a prescribed set of requirements and accomplishments that must be met. HRMAG will receive recognition in SHRM publications and at conferences, a logo to display on its website, and information to share with its members about the significance of this award.

With hopefully coming out of COVID-19 in 2021, we wanted to strengthen our chapter by increasing the over whelming need of technology.  We transitioned to a new website that helps us attract new members and the current members have more communication from HRMAG.  We also transition from online only meetings to hybrid meetings with offering virtual and in-person.  We have started working on strong initiatives for 2022 and we are on track to hopefully win the Platinum EXCEL Award again.
