HR.com Forms Future of Career Development & Mobility Advisory Board for 2024

HR.com has announced the formation of its Future of Career Development & Mobility Advisory Board for 2024, bringing together industry experts to collaborate with the HR Research Institute on developing practical strategies for enhancing career development initiatives across organizations. This initiative addresses the critical need for robust career development programs as organizations increasingly recognize their importance in driving business success. The advisory board will explore key areas including organizational engagement in employee career development, challenges hindering such initiatives, and outcomes of successful programs.

The panel will focus on 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 today's organizations, factors that may hinder such mobility, and how internal mobility contributes to overall career development. The insights gathered will culminate in a comprehensive research report with detailed findings and recommendations, while a condensed two-page infographic will provide a quick overview for busy professionals.

Debbie McGrath, CEO and Chief Instigator of HR.com, emphasized the significance of this initiative, stating that career development represents a cornerstone of organizational success. The newly appointed advisory board features an impressive roster of industry thought leaders including 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. HR professionals can access additional resources through free research reports and infographics available at https://hr.com/researchinstitute.

This latest endeavor builds upon HR.com's track record of producing valuable industry insights through the HR Research Institute, which regularly releases annual State of the Industry reports on various HR topics. The formation of this advisory board and the upcoming research initiative underscore the growing recognition of career development as a critical factor in organizational success. As companies continue to navigate the challenges of talent retention and skills development in an ever-evolving workplace, the insights provided by this panel of experts are poised to become invaluable resources for HR professionals and business leaders. A virtual event scheduled for December 4, 2024 will feature informative sessions from various subject matter experts in the field, further extending the reach of these important findings.
