Episode 29: Generation HR

Send us Fan MailKyle and Molly have the tables turned, as guests on the Generation HR Podcast.  About Generation HR:  Originally created for the Social Changemaker Project, the University of Northern Iowa's Society for Human Resource Management (UNI-SHRM) student organization decided to research the new U.S. Supreme Court ruling stating that federal civil rights law prohibits employers from discriminating against workers on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We wanted to take a deeper look into how this has impacted training and inclusivity on university campuses and the workplace. The main focus is to create unity and transparency in both. As four officers of UNI-SHRM, Aleah, Kaylee, Skylar, and Claudia began by creating a survey to get a baseline of the level of understanding or training, that students and employees have been given on this new ruling. After marketing our survey through social media, we reached hundreds of people in the Cedar Valley and beyond. Shockingly, we found that 0% of those in the LGBTQ community had been made aware of this new ruling by their university or employer. Following that, 35% of those not in the LGBTQ community discovered these rights on their own, and 36% said that they had not been made aware and feel as though they should have been made aware by their employer or university. Obviously, these results proved what we thought: people are simply not educated about this new ruling.
