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 providing in-depth insights and practical strategies for enhancing career development initiatives across organizations. This initiative addresses the growing recognition of robust career development programs as essential drivers of business success, particularly as organizations navigate ongoing challenges in talent retention and skills development.

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. Key topics of exploration include strategies and best practices related to career development, the role of career development in succession management programs, and methods for allocating resources to prevent workforce skills gaps. The board will also examine 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 initiative will result in a comprehensive research report with detailed findings and recommendations, while a condensed two-page infographic will provide a quick overview for time-constrained professionals. Additionally, HR professionals can 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 and that the panel aims to provide HR professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to foster talent growth and leverage mobility.

This latest endeavor builds upon HR.com's established 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 highlight the increasing importance of career development as a critical factor in organizational success, particularly as companies face evolving workplace challenges. HR professionals and organizations can access free research reports and infographics through HR.com's research institute to stay informed about the latest developments in career development and mobility.

As the largest network of human resources executives, HR.com's initiative to assemble this advisory board represents a significant advancement in shaping the future of employee career development. The insights and strategies emerging from this collaboration are expected to have substantial implications for how organizations approach talent management, succession planning, and overall employee development in the coming years, providing valuable resources for HR professionals and business leaders navigating the complexities of modern workforce management.
