Criterion HCM Creates an Oasis at SHRM 2025: A Place to Recharge, Reconnect, and Rethink HR

HR Leaders Invited to Recharge Their Feet, Devices, and HR Platforms at Booth #2139

Norwalk, CT — June 17, 2025 — Criterion HCM, the human capital management platform that HR professionals actually love, is redefining the expo experience at this year’s SHRM Annual Conference & Expo (SHRM25). From June 29 to July 2 in San Diego, Criterion invites HR leaders to discover a refreshing retreat in the heart of the show floor— a Hawaiian-themed HR Oasis at Booth #2139.

Designed with the needs of today’s overworked HR professionals in mind, the Criterion HR Oasis is a space to recharge your batteries, rest your feet, and rethink your HR platform.

“We know SHRM is a hub of ideas, energy, and non-stop movement—but it’s also a marathon for HR leaders,” said Sunil Reddy, CEO of Criterion HCM. “We wanted to create something different: a place where HR leaders can catch their breath, recharge, and explore how modern HR tech can make their lives easier.”
