EMERGING HUMAN RESOURCES PROFESSIONALS (aka Young Professionals)
As companies develop succession plans for their organization, affiliated SHRM chapters must also plan for the future. Due to the changes in the economy and the Southern California job market, many new graduates and young professionals interested in the HR field find it difficult to secure a position in this area. This is why it is important for the HR seasoned professionals to partner with the incoming "Emerging HR Professionals".

LEGAL UPDATE
Ban the Box
The Ban the Box
coalition has been around since 2009, and primarily affected public sector and nonprofit entities. California enacted Assembly Bill No. 218, Ban the Box in 2013 for public sector employers. Today, many larger for-profit organizations have implemented public sector guidelines into their hiring practices.
So, what is Ban the Box? Simply put, it requires employers to consider a job candidate's qualifications first, without the stigma of a criminal record. Therefore, the box on employment applications asking applicants to indicate if they have any criminal convictions have been removed from the initial hiring process.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Joey Kolasinsky, President
The new year has arrived and the hectic holiday season is behind us. Most of us have been thinking about what 2017 will bring and what we will bring to 2017.......Do you want to move ahead, take a step back, seek new career opportunities, or take the time to become more competent and confident in your current role or area of expertise?
This year instead of making grand resolutions and setting aggressive goals, try to break down how you want to feel and plan accordingly. If you want to be happier, take time to think about what happiness means to you. Stopping to smell the roses? Spending more quality time with family? Too often we confuse productivity with happiness. Doing more doesn't necessarily equate to more success or more happiness, however you define them.
