April is always an exciting month because there are always lots of excellent spring SHRM conferences and events happening. We are especially excited about April 2021, as we have several “live” conferences following a pandemic year of virtual conferences. We are looking forward to covering the SHRM-Memphis Legal Conference on April 20 and the 11th Annual Tennessee SHRM Conference in Nashville on April 30. Stay tuned for Facebook “live” interviews from these two conferences! We will also have full photo coverage of both in our May issue.
We are honored to feature Andy Wainwright, Chair of the Tennessee SHRM Strategic Leadership Conference, on our cover. Andy is currently serving as the Professional Development Chair for TN SHRM and on the Board of Directors for Middle Tennessee SHRM as the immediate Past President. He is also Vice President, HR Partnerships, with CareerCurve in Nashville.
Our focus this month is talent management and recruiting. We have many fantastic articles on hiring for diversity, ending age discrimination in hiring, and ending immigration discrimination hiring. There are also excellent articles on work life balance, advancing women leaders, and how leaders can use emotional intelligence with all types of employees.
We are loving our Thursday webinars with HRCI and SHRM credits! We hope you are enjoying them as well. In April we have five webinars all with exciting hot topics for HR professionals. See our “Save the Date for our April Webinars” on page 7 for the details. You will have the opportunity to earn 10 recertification credits on Thursdays in April.
