In 2004, the SHRM Foundation developed one of the best resources available for busy HR professionals. Recognizing that you have little time to keep up with results of academic research—and, let’s face it, some of it is challenging to wade through as well—the SHRM foundation created the Effective Practice Guidelines series. This series integrates the latest research findings and expert opinion on how to conduct effective HR practices into a very accessible publication.
The goal of the series is to let you know which HR practices havebeen shown by research to be effective in order to help you in your role as an HR professional. With that goal in mind, the SHRMFoundation publishes new reports annually on different HR topics. Past reports, available online at www.shrm.org/foundation , include Performance Management, Selection Assessment Methods, EmployeeEngagement and Commitment, Implementing Total Rewards Strategies,Developing Leadership Talent and Retaining Talent and Human Resource Strategy. The eighth report in the series, Learning System Design is now available online.
For each report, a subject matter expert is chosen to be the author. Afterthe initial draft is written, the report is reviewed by both academics and practitioners to ensure that the material is research-based, comprehensiveand presented in an easy-to-use format. The report also includes a “Sources andSuggested Readings” section as a convenient reference tool.
The vision for the SHRM Foundation is to “maximize the impact of the HR profession on organizational decision-making and performance by promoting innovation, education, research and the use of research based knowledge.” The Foundation also is strategically focused on initiatives designed to help organizations maximize leadership talent.
