What Kind of HR Community Does Fayetteville Really Need?

    No Comments December 4, 2025

    HR moves fast — faster than any one practitioner can keep up with alone. Between changing laws, a tight labor market, and the unique influence of Fort Bragg, HR in Fayetteville comes with challenges that national resources can’t always localize.

    Research backs this up. SHRM highlights how local chapters accelerate development, strengthen compliance, and raise the bar for practice. Studies on knowledge sharing show the same thing: when HR professionals learn together, organizations make better decisions and adopt better practices.

    But here’s the real question for our region:

    What kind of HR community do you want here in Fayetteville?

    Is it…

    • A space to troubleshoot real HR challenges?

    • Certification support and study groups?

    • Stronger pipelines for veteran and military spouse hiring?

    • Regular briefings on HR tech, compliance updates, or workplace trends?

    • Or something completely different that no one has named yet?

    As HR professionals, we all know the work gets better when the community gets stronger. If we want to elevate this profession locally, we need to start with your voice.
