International Women's Day was just yesterday and the month of March celebrates Women's History Month!

At CHRS we feel closely tied to this as we are a women owned company and women make up about 90% of our team.

Fun Fact: Women make up the majority of the Human Resources workforce globally, playing a vital role in shaping equitable hiring, fair policies, and supportive workplace cultures.

Here’s to progress, equity, and the power of people.

Black History Month reminds us that
diversity initiatives add real value to the workplace — but only when they’re strategically planned.

Create an internal team to lead efforts year-round, ensure representation from diverse backgrounds, and consider outside speakers to guide meaningful conversations.

Intentional, inclusive planning drives stronger culture and lasting impact.

Recognizing Black contributions isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s
essential to retaining Black talent and building workplaces where everyone can thrive.

Honoring Black History Month is one meaningful way companies show they truly value cultural diversity, not just in words, but in action.

Inclusive workplaces don’t happen by accident. They’re built with intention.

Modern HR exists because of civil rights progress.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 established protections against discrimination—forever shaping how we build fair and inclusive workplaces. As we honor the 100-year anniversary of Black History, CHRS recognizes the Black leaders, advocates, and movements that continue to influence equitable, compliant, and people-centered workplaces today.

Honoring 100 years of Black History Month and the lasting influence Black history has had on today’s workplaces.

Many of the HR practices we rely on—fair hiring, anti-discrimination protections, and equal employment opportunity—are rooted in the progress driven by Black leaders and civil rights advocacy.

As HR professionals, we recognize and celebrate that this legacy continues to shape how organizations build equitable, compliant, and inclusive workplaces.

Fun Fact Friday!

Research shows recruiters spend just 6–7 seconds scanning a résumé before making an initial decision.

That’s right—your résumé needs to make an impact fast. Clear formatting, strong keywords, and results-driven bullet points matter more than ever.

HR tip: If it’s cluttered or confusing, it might get skipped.

Did you know HR is involved in almost every step of business decision-making? From hiring and compliance to culture, strategy, and growth—HR is more than just an admin function. It’s the engine that helps to keep the business moving forward in the most collaborative way possible.

At CHRS, we don’t just “do HR”… We help drive businesses forward.
