GET INVOLVED!
PHRMA has a Mentoring Program.
If you'd like to get involved and help others in the HR field or if you're looking for some guidance in your daily HR role, you can get signed up by contacting PHRMA Mentorship Chair, Jenny Bartleson at
How it works: Complete a Mentor or Mentee questionnaire to get signed up. Mentors and mentees will be matched up, taking into account industry, learning/expertise areas, and learning/teaching style. Both mentors and mentees can accept or decline the relationship.
Time commitment: There is flexibility in the time commitment, but we request a minimum of 1-3 hours per month and can continue as long as the parties agree. PHRMA is asking for a minimum 6 month commitment from mentors. Relationships will be assessed every few months to make sure they are still valuable for each party.
Benefits of being a mentor: This is a great way to get involved with your local chapter and give back to your HR community! If you're between positions right now, it's a great way to keep your brain working in the HR realm - and looks great on a résumé! Mentoring is a great way to learn as well as teach, and you may get some new ideas that will help you in your own work. There are of course the good feelings and the internal satisfaction that go along with knowing you've helped someone out. In addition, HRCI credits are available for mentoring. This is a great way to get involved in the HR community.

In addition SHRM also offers an E-Mentoring Program:
The PHRMA chapter invites you to participate in SHRM's E-Mentoring Program. Mentoring is a win-win proposition for everyone involved. Proteges gain from the experience and guidance of an HR veteran, while mentors enjoy the satisfaction of passing their wisdom and advice on to someone who can benefit from it. The SHRM E-Mentoring Program is designed to give mentors and proteges maximum flexibility in fostering their relationship. SHRM Staff will match mentors to proteges and make the initial introductions. A short evaluation will be sent at the one-month mark and again at the six month mark.
To learn more about the program and how to enroll, please access the SHRM E-Mentoring Program via The Volunteer Opportunities Center in the SHRM website, at http://www.shrm.org/volunteer/mentor.asp.
