Programs
The Josh Bersin Academy Programs combine an innovative team-based learning approach with cutting edge instructional design and professionally produced content. Programs help HR professionals master emerging HR topics and address critical challenges, while collaborating with their peers.
They include a diverse range of “voices” to help people learn from the leaders and innovators in our profession. HR professionals would go through programs in teams of 50 to 70 colleagues. Each Program typically lasts four to six weeks with an average time commitment of four to five hours.
In addition to the rich Programs available today, the Academy is continuously updated with new Programs that are constantly being developed for our members throughout the year.
Well-being at Work
Well-being programs shouldn't be viewed as “nice-to-haves”. They are essential to ensuring employees can perform at their best and stray motivated over the long haul. Designing and managing successful well-being programs has never been more imported and the available tools to do so have never been more abundant - but navigating the landscape isn’t easy.
The HR Tech Workshop
We cannot survive in today's environment with a clear understanding of today's technologies and the insights they provide. This workshop helps learners make sense of the crowded HR tech landscape so they can make better decisions.
People as Competitive Advantage
If we don't have the right people in the right roles with the right skills, our organization will not survive in todays fast-paced highly competitive business environment. We must re-envision how we leverage our talent and our own roles.
People Analytics
Data is everywhere. As HR professionals we need to both understand and harness it to improve outcomes for our organizations. People Analytics is a comprehensive Program built in partnership with Visler to help HR professionals take control over the date at hand and allow it to inform our day-to-day decisions and strategy.
Performance Management Reimagined
The way we evaluate and empower performance is drastically changing and as HR professionals we need to be at the forefront of that transformation. We can succeed by making sure our efforts are aligned with the networked, collaborative nature of work and are making work easier, not harder.
The Strategic HR Business Partner
HR Business Partners are at the frontline of todays talent strategy. They must have an initial understanding of the business challenges their team is working on, to solve and be able to re-frame those challenges through the lens of talent and employee experience. This Program is for HR Business Partners committed to taking their own work and their teams to the next level.
HR in the Age of AI
For more than a decade, AI has been the future of HR. Now, the future of HR. Now, the future has arrived. HR Teams that aren’t implementing AI or preparing their workforce to thrive in an AI-driven enterprise risk falling rapidly behind. HR is the Age of AI is a comprehensive Program built in partnership with IBM to help HR organizations thrive in the world of AI.
The Agile Learning Organization
These are complex times to be in the business of learning. Organizations are under constant pressure to grow in directions that are, at times, counterintuitive, more agile, but also more globally aligned, more innovative, but still familiar and stable to our long-term customers. They key to survival is the ability to constantly learn and grow-as individuals, teams, and organizations.
