HR.com has taken a significant step forward in addressing the complexities of modern workplace communication by forming an advisory board for its 'State of Employee Communication and Collaboration 2025' research study and virtual event. This move underscores the growing recognition of internal communication as a cornerstone of organizational success, beyond its traditional HR confines.
The advisory board, featuring six esteemed professionals such as Sandra Braham from Gulf Coast Jewish Family and Community Services and Adam Castle from Robert Half, brings a wealth of experience and diverse perspectives to the table. Their involvement ensures that the research will be grounded in real-world challenges and solutions, making it highly relevant for HR professionals seeking to enhance team collaboration and overall performance.
Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, highlighted the importance of this initiative, pointing out that effective communication is not just an HR function but a critical business imperative. The research aims to provide a deep dive into the strategies that can bridge communication gaps and foster a more collaborative work environment, especially in an era where remote and hybrid work models are becoming the norm.
The culmination of this research will be a detailed report and a two-page infographic, designed to distill complex data into actionable insights. Additionally, the virtual event on July 16, 2025, will serve as a platform for sharing these findings and discussing practical applications with subject matter experts. This initiative is a continuation of HR.com's commitment to supporting HR professionals through high-quality, actionable research, building on previous studies like the 'State of Employee Communication and Collaboration 2024-25' report.
For vendors in the human resources industry, this research presents an opportunity to align their products and services with the latest trends and needs in employee communication and collaboration. By staying informed of these developments, vendors can better serve their clients, offering solutions that address the evolving challenges of the workplace.
