A Message from the CEO
The results of our Eighth Annual Employee Relations Benchmark Study clearly show that Employee Relations (ER) is leading in uncharted territory. We need to adapt faster and smarter than ever before. To do that, we must become the masters of our own data and keep our community conversations honest, vulnerable and vibrant.
Learning from each other is the path forward.
Using the findings purposefully, we can build deeper connections with our employees, increase our effectiveness and create better workplaces. Employee relations is evolving to meet the moment. I am amazed at your courage to self-reflect, stay curious and push yourselves as leaders.
We remain committed to partnering with you on this journey and look forward to continuing our work together. Our people need empathetic, trustworthy leaders. I am certain we are those leaders amid uncertain times.
