HR.com has strategically assembled a diverse group of 13 senior executives from prominent corporations to lead its Future of DEIB 2025 research initiative, signaling a critical commitment to advancing workplace inclusivity and equity strategies.
The newly formed advisory board represents a cross-section of industries, including technology, finance, healthcare, and professional services. These leaders will provide strategic guidance for a comprehensive research study and two-day virtual event focused on emerging trends and best practices in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB).
The initiative aims to equip HR professionals with actionable insights to create more inclusive workplace cultures. By leveraging the expertise of executives from organizations like Comerica, SAP, ServiceLink, and Harry's Inc., the research will explore contemporary challenges and innovative approaches to building diverse and equitable work environments.
The comprehensive research will culminate in a detailed report from the HR Research Institute, accompanied by a concise two-page infographic. The virtual event, scheduled for June 3-4, 2025, will feature sessions led by subject matter experts, providing a platform for knowledge sharing and strategic discussion.
Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, emphasized the importance of this collaborative effort, stating that the advisory board represents a collective commitment to fostering inclusive organizational cultures. The diverse backgrounds of board members, ranging from global diversity officers to legal experts, ensure a multifaceted approach to understanding and implementing DEIB strategies.
This initiative builds upon HR.com's ongoing research efforts, including the Future of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging 2024 report. By continually examining workplace dynamics, the organization provides HR professionals with critical tools to drive meaningful organizational change.
The advisory board's work is particularly significant in an evolving corporate landscape where diversity and inclusion are increasingly recognized as key drivers of innovation, employee engagement, and organizational success. By bringing together thought leaders from various sectors, HR.com is facilitating a collaborative approach to addressing complex workplace diversity challenges.
