MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
As a group, we can all make a difference through our advocacy, but never forget the power of one. We can still make a difference, even if it’s just one person, if we care about something..
Ed Carpenter
Corporate Director of Human Resources at Superior Van & Mobility, SHRM-SCP
I get asked a lot why workplace advocacy is important to me, and I think the answer is very simple: I truly strive to make a difference in the world. As small as touching people’s lives in HR to helping shape these policies so it makes the workplace better for everyone.
