Annual HCM Excellence Conference

Brandon Hall Group is famous for its actionable Human Capital Management research. Our annual HCM Excellence Conference delivers the same experience through a 3-day event with leading practices from award-winning organizations along with checklists, self-assessments, models, frameworks, and other tools that you can use to convert insights into measurable benefits for your organization.

DEI Conference

For Learning, Talent and HR Professionals

 

Most organizations understand that DE&I is not just an initiative or program but a strategic endeavor involving cultural change. Yet, 57% of organizations with a strategic plan have had it for two years or less, meaning that for many employers, the shift from programs, initiatives and tactics to strategy is still in its infancy.
