SHRM Foundation News: Educational DVDs

The SHRM Foundation has created a series of educational DVDs that feature real-world case studies of successful companies that align HR strategy with corporate business objectives. The DVDs are distributed free of charge to SHRM chapters, educators and businesses. The SHRM Foundation also offers a discussion guide and powerpoint presentation for use in SHRM chapter programming, staff trainings, or executive education sessions. The HR Certification Institute has approved many of the DVDs for one hour of credit, when used with the companion materials as part of a 1-hour educational session (see the Foundation website for details).

The Foundation’s newest DVD, Doing Well by Doing Good: Global Sustainability at Aditya Birla Group describes the Aditya Birla Group’s ongoing investment in social and economic development in the communities in which they operate.
