Human resources (HR) management runs through every vein of an organization, either directly or indirectly. If an action touches or impacts the people in the organization, then HR is involved, from strategy to workforce planning to organizational culture to people development. Unfortunately, the dominant model relied upon by too many mainstream HR professionals focuses solely on the administration of recruiting, hiring and onboarding of staff. This approach is a lost opportunity for HR to play a productive role in creating equitable organizations.

In order for HR to truly be a facilitative partner, the role and function of HR must be redefined and reimagined. This document from RoadMap explores how organizations can reclaim the broader understanding and practice of HR to center gender and racial equity in order to support the success and accountability of our organizations’ number one asset: the people.

Mujeres Unidas y Activas

Produced collaboratively by Mujeres Unidas y Activas and RoadMap, Shifting Power from the Inside Out offers a new framework for community-based organizations on the evolution from member-based to member-led organizational structure, culture and practice.

The report shares Mujeres Unidas y Activas’ journey towards:

Increasing representation of community members amongst leadership and staff.
Developing specific internal practices to ensure that immigrant women are encouraged to step up — and that US born women take a back seat — in organizational leadership.
Encouraging frank discussions about race, class and power.
Ending practices of white supremacy that limit the leadership of people of color.
Shifting towards a model of collaboration and authentic shared leadership.
