Forbes Human Resources Council Is An Innovative Community Built To Help The World’s Most Influential HR Executives. This Is Our Story.
Forbes, one of the most iconic media companies in the world, and the team behind YEC, one of the most world-class entrepreneurship organizations, have partnered to create a new kind of professional community for senior-level HR executives across all industries that proactively connects them to each other as well as best-in-class resources based on their specific business needs. The end result is Forbes Human Resources Council, a new and innovative community for executives to discuss and solve pressing business challenges with their peers, share their insights via thought leadership articles on Forbes.com, and get personalized support from the Forbes Councils concierge team. Concierges work with members on a regular basis to learn about their specific business needs and challenges and use that information to connect them to the right community resources.
Some of those exclusive benefits and resources include the opportunity to share expert advice with Forbes.com’s tens of millions of monthly readers; a business services concierge team to connect members with curated resources like travel, financing and accounting, back-office services, PEOs, marketing solutions and volume discounts from dozens of vetted vendors; and peer-to-peer learning and educational content, to name a few highlights. And because Forbes Human Resources Council has a rigorous selection process, every member can be assured that they are part of a vetted peer community of the highest caliber. We invite you to see if you qualify for Forbes Human Resources Council.
