HR Department of One? This one’s for you.

Being a solo HR practitioner means wearing every hat — often at the same time. It also means navigating complex challenges without an internal HR peer to lean on.

To support those doing HR solo, Greater Baltimore SHRM offers a HR Department of One Forum — a space designed to foster collaboration, connection, and shared learning among practitioners who do it all.

📅 Wednesday, February 25, 2026
🕘 9:00 AM (Virtual)

Participation is complimentary for active members - https://www.chra.com/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=2030879

‣ While this initial session is open to both members and non-members, future forums in this series may be limited to members only.

Because doing it alone shouldn’t mean doing it unsupported.
