Utah Human Resource State Council Awarded
For Elevating Human Resources, Improving Workplaces

Salt Lake City, UT, May 28, 2019 — SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management) recently awarded Utah Human Resource State Council (UHRSC) its prestigious Platinum Excel Award for the Council’s accomplishments in 2018.

The EXCEL award aligns individual chapters’ and state councils’ activities with SHRM’s aspirations for the HR profession. The award recognizes major accomplishments, strategic activities, and tactical initiatives that elevate the profession of human resources.  

"So much of SHRM's success in shaping better workplaces - where employers and employees can thrive together - is owed to the hard work of our chapters and state councils such as UHRSC. Through their courage and leadership, UHRSC is driving true, meaurable progress toward the healthy, productive, and dynamic workplaces of tomorrow," said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM- SCP, president and chief executive officer of SHRM. "Awarding this Platinum Excel Award is just one small way for SHRM to recognize and celebrate the big steps this UHRSC has taken this past year." 

The EXCEL Award can be earned at four levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Each level has a prescribed set of requirements and accomplishments that must be met. UHRSC will receive recognition in SHRM publications and at conferences, a logo to display on its website, and information to share with its members about the significance of this award.

THANK YOU to our Board of Directors, our chapters, our vendors, Our Volunteers, and the Industry Professionals that help us continue to excel in delivering quality and impactful content for the HR industry.
