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 distinguished industry experts to collaborate with the HR Research Institute on developing practical strategies for enhancing career development initiatives across organizations. 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 several 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. A key area of investigation will be the extent of internal mobility in contemporary organizations, factors that may hinder such mobility, and how internal mobility contributes to overall career development. The insights gathered from this comprehensive initiative will culminate in a research report offering detailed findings and recommendations, with a condensed two-page infographic available for quick reference. HR professionals can also anticipate a virtual event scheduled for December 4, 2024, featuring informative sessions from various subject matter experts in the field.

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. The newly appointed advisory board includes industry thought leaders from prominent organizations 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. This collaborative effort builds upon HR.com's established track record of producing valuable industry insights through its HR Research Institute, which regularly releases annual State of the Industry reports on various HR topics.
