The Greenville chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (GSHRM) received the 2021 Pinnacle Award for Workplace Impact on Nov. 11 for its veterans’ employment program, “Cracking the Code: HR Intel on Civilian Employment.”
The program, which was developed by local GSHRM-affiliated military veterans and civilian HR professionals, works to help veterans from military service to civilian careers by assisting with tasks such as job searching and networking.
“GSHRM is thrilled to receive this Pinnacle Award,” said GSHRM president Leanne Fuller said. “The core team that developed this program is made up of exceptional HR professionals and military Vets who put a tremendous amount of thought, creativity, hard work, and compassion into the project. Their leadership and innovation are helping GSHRM live up to our association’s motto of creating better workplaces for a better world.”
The program beat out 69 other applications for the award, which also included a $2,500 prize given by Raymond James, the sponsor of this year’s Pinnacle Awards.
Beginning Jan. 1, “Cracking the Code” will be adopted by all SHRM chapters.
