HR.com, the largest network of human resources (HR) executives, has announced the formation of its Future of Learning Technologies Advisory Board for 2025. This panel of distinguished industry experts will collaborate with HR.com’s HR Research Institute (HRRI) to provide comprehensive insights and practical strategies for leveraging learning and development (L&D) technologies in critical areas such as employee upskilling, reskilling, career advancement, and soft skills development.
The advisory board’s collective expertise will be instrumental in shaping upcoming research and a virtual event focused on uncovering trends and best practices in the technologies, tools, and solutions organizations use to train and educate employees. While traditional learning management systems (LMS), learning content management systems (LCMS), and learning experience platforms (LXPs) will be covered, the scope extends far beyond these conventional tools. The initiative will also explore how L&D technologies, solutions, architectures, and paradigms are expected to evolve in the near future, providing HR professionals with a roadmap for future-proofing their learning strategies.
The research findings from this initiative will be published in a comprehensive report offering detailed insights and recommendations. Additionally, a condensed two-page infographic will be made available, providing a quick reference for key points. To further disseminate this valuable information, HR.com will host a virtual event on January 22, 2025, featuring a day of informative sessions led by subject matter experts in the field of learning technologies.
The newly appointed advisory board includes a diverse group of thought leaders from various sectors of the learning and development industry. Among the esteemed members are Christopher Allen, President of Allen Interactions; Sheila Jagannathan, Global Head of Capacity Building and Digital Learning at The World Bank; and Lora Kyle, Global VP Talent Development at Chegg, Inc. These experts, along with their fellow board members, bring a wealth of experience and innovative perspectives to the table.
HR.com’s CEO and Chief Instigator, Debbie McGrath, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, ‘Learning and development technologies are evolving at an unprecedented pace, and their impact on workforce transformation is profound. Our goal is to provide HR professionals with the knowledge and tools they need to leverage these technologies effectively, ensuring their employees remain agile, engaged, and prepared for the future.’
The significance of this research and advisory board cannot be overstated in today’s rapidly changing business landscape. As organizations grapple with the challenges of digital transformation, the need for effective learning technologies has never been more critical. The insights generated by this initiative will help HR professionals make informed decisions about investing in and implementing learning technologies that can drive employee growth, enhance organizational performance, and maintain a competitive edge in the global marketplace.
This latest endeavor builds upon HR.com’s track record of producing valuable industry research. The HR Research Institute regularly releases annual ‘State of the Industry’ reports on various HR topics, including the recent HR.com’s Future of Learning Technologies 2024 report. These resources serve as essential tools for HR professionals seeking to stay ahead of industry trends and best practices.
As the learning technology landscape continues to evolve, the work of HR.com’s Future of Learning Technologies Advisory Board will play a crucial role in shaping the future of workplace learning.
