SHRM is the world's largest HR professional society, representing more than 300,000 HR professionals across the globe, impacting 115 million workers and their families. The Tharse艒 (thar-seh'-艒)鈥攄erived from the Greek word for "courageous, confident and bold"鈥攁wards are given to those who demonstrate innovative and impactful business practices leading to better workplaces and a better world by serving as visionaries, innovators and change agents.  

I first met SHRM鈥檚 president and CEO, Johnny Taylor Jr., during a virtual roundtable more than a year ago. We struck up a relationship and eventually invited Johnny and other SHRM leaders to our 本色视频 Phillips, WI location to experience our culture of Truly Human Leadership firsthand. They were able to meet and talk to our team members and learn about their work and how our culture impacts their lives.

Although I am not necessarily a fan of the terms 鈥渉uman resource鈥� and 鈥渕anagement,鈥� I do agree with SHRM鈥檚 tagline, which is very similar to ours at Barry-Wehmiller: BETTER WORKPLACES. BETTER WORLD.

I am very honored at all the recognitions Barry-Wehmiller has received as a company or I have received personally over the years. I was named the #3 CEO in the world in an Inc. magazine article and a Top 10 Social Capital CEO by the International Business Times. In 2019, I was honored to receive the Entrepreneur Award from Arch Grants, a St. Louis-based organization that helps small businesses as they are getting started. The St. Louis Business Journal once again named Barry-Wehmiller as one of the St. Louis region鈥檚 largest privately held companies, a recognition of our company鈥檚 growth and the success of our cultural and business model.

These recognitions are not about me personally, but they are a testament to the hard work of our team members in Barry-Wehmiller who perpetuate our culture through their actions and deeds, prove everyday that you can be a successful business and treat people well so that they have good relationships with their loved ones and friends and are good citizens of the world.

These recognitions also validate the importance of our message. For instance, having our effort recognized by the world鈥檚 most influential HR organization is profoundly meaningful. SHRM鈥檚 validation of our work to bring more human-centered leadership, not just to Barry-Wehmiller but to the world, helps us amplify that effort, allowing us to impact even more lives.

 

And that remains our goal, no matter what. To show the world that business can be a powerful force for good when we realize that the way we lead impacts the way people live and have the courage to care for those we lead.

Until our message is heard in every corner of every organization in the world, I cannot rest on laurels or recognitions. There is more work to do to build a better world. As always, I ask you join me to share our message in any way you can.
