History & Organization

The organization was founded in 1979 as an affiliate of the Human Resource Planning Society and served to sponsor monthly roundtable discussions. Growing over the years in scope, size, and reputation, the organization has evolved to reflect the increasing complexities and changes of the businesses it represents. Previously known as the Philadelphia Human Resources Planning Group (PHRPG) and the Philadelphia Human Resources Planning Society (PHRPS), the organization was renamed the Philadelphia Society of People & Strategy (PSPS) in 2013 and is no longer an affiliate of HRPS. PSPS is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors, and served by several standing committees. We rely heavily on the active involvement, engagement, and creativity of our members who both contribute to and benefit from the association.
