HR.com Appoints Industry Experts to Advisory Board for 2025 Employee Communication Research

HR.com has announced the appointment of leading industry experts to the advisory board for the upcoming State of Employee Communication and Collaboration 2025 research study and virtual event. This initiative aims to provide HR professionals with data-driven insights and best practices to enhance internal communication, collaboration, and overall talent management strategies as organizations navigate evolving workplace dynamics.

The newly appointed advisory board, composed of top HR and business communication experts, will provide strategic guidance to ensure the research and event deliver actionable solutions for professionals striving to improve workplace engagement and performance. The research findings will be published in a comprehensive report offering detailed insights and recommendations from the HR Research Institute, along with a condensed two-page infographic for quick reference of key points.

The advisory board includes prominent industry thought leaders such as Sandra Braham, President & CEO of Gulf Coast Jewish Family and Community Services; Adam Castle, Manager of Business Transformation Communications Strategy at Robert Half; Tim Cosby, President/CEO of Real Retention; Kate Feather, Senior Vice President and Head of HR for Corporate Functions at Lincoln Financial Group; Necco Stevens, Chief Experience Officer at NEO Home Loans; and Jason Walker, Chief People Officer and Fractional CHRO at Thrive HR.

Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, emphasized that strong internal communication represents a business imperative rather than merely an HR function. The organization's annual State of the Industry reports, including the previous HR.com's State of Employee Communication and Collaboration 2024-25 research, provide valuable resources for HR professionals. These free research reports and infographics can be accessed through the HR Research Institute's resources, helping more than 2 million HR professionals make strategic decisions with informed and insightful findings.

The upcoming virtual event scheduled for July 16, 2025, will feature informative sessions from various subject matter experts in the field, continuing HR.com's tradition of publishing dozens of high-quality reports annually across diverse HR topics. The HR Research Institute, powered by HR.com as the world's largest HR community, identifies key trends and best practices to support organizational success through effective communication and collaboration strategies.
