HR.com Forms 2024 Advisory Board to Address Critical Career Development Challenges

HR.com has announced the formation of its Future of Career Development & Mobility Advisory Board for 2024, bringing together distinguished industry experts to collaborate with the HR Research Institute. This initiative addresses the growing recognition that robust career development programs are essential for driving business success in today's competitive talent landscape. The advisory board will focus on critical areas including organizational engagement in employee career development, challenges hindering such initiatives, and outcomes of successful career development programs.

The panel will explore strategies and best practices related to career development, examining the role of career development in succession management programs and methods for allocating resources to prevent workforce skills gaps. Additional areas of investigation include the extent of internal mobility in contemporary organizations, factors that may hinder such mobility, and how internal mobility contributes to overall career development. These insights will culminate in a comprehensive research report, with a condensed two-page infographic available for quick reference. HR professionals can also participate in a virtual event scheduled for December 4, 2024, featuring sessions from various subject matter experts.

The advisory board includes prominent industry thought leaders such as Megan Bickle from Amplitude, Jennifer Borun from Cornerstone OnDemand, Doreen Coles from ADP, Frank Ginac and Linda Ginac from TalentGuard, Bev Kaye from BevKaye&Co, Gayle Lantz from WorkMatters, Inc., Kathi Graham-Leviss from XBInsight, and Wade McNair from Paycor. Debbie McGrath, CEO and Chief Instigator of HR.com, emphasized the significance of this initiative, stating that career development serves as a cornerstone of organizational success and that the panel aims to provide HR professionals with tools and knowledge needed to foster talent growth and leverage mobility.
