What makes us unique
While some organizations work with us to bring best practices to life with practical tools and others want to be on the cutting edge of the latest HR trends, what we often hear that sets us apart is:
Next practice focused
Our Market Performance Index™ and other indices identify next practices to help plan, prioritize, and benchmark based on business impact.
Community led
We put our community in the driver’s seat, to both inform our research and our members on what’s coming next—and how to implement the practices that matter.
Enterprise access
We offer enterprise-wide access vs. seat-based licenses because organizations are only successful if their entire HR teams (and beyond) are equipped with the proper resources.
Culture expertise
Based on the largest volume of culture research ever collected, we wrote the definitive book on culture change which is being used by hundreds of organizations worldwide to create unshakeable cultures.
