SHRM's Insurer Refuses to Pay $10M Race Discrimination Verdict
HR Dive·Friday, 31 July 2026
SHRM, the world's largest HR professional body, was hit with a $10 million jury verdict for intentional race discrimination. Now its insurance carrier has sued SHRM, saying state law bars it from covering intentional acts like discrimination. This means SHRM could be left paying the full amount out of its own pocket.
Why It Matters
SHRM sets workplace standards globally, including guidance followed by Indian HR professionals. A discrimination verdict against the organization that preaches fair workplaces is a major credibility hit.
