HR Gurus for Q1 2019: The A-Z of Human Resources Experts This Quarter [Infographic]

We showcased some great HR experts across 2018 in our quarterly A-Z lists and also engaged with a number of our readers that highlighted HR expert’s within their own networks who had not appeared on our radar yet.  So we are thankful for the feedback and excited to share some new names with you all.

Our multifaceted HR experts include professors, a global inclusion director, diversity specialists, culture transformation advisors, masters of advanced statistics, HR trend hunters, inclusive environment builders and even a stand up comedian who has used stories from his long career in HR as a way to spread humour!

Although our Q1 2019 list of A-Z HR Gurus is heavily UK based, we still have experts from all across the globe; Israel, USA, Macedonia, Russia, Latvia, China, South America, Switzerland and India, all of which collectively bring a strong focus on Diversity and Inclusion.

Corporate diversity and inclusion continues to be such a huge topic at the moment, following  #metoo, #timesup, #blacklivesmatter and a very eye-opening speech by Frances McDormand at the Oscars last year.  People began to really take notice and these movements opened up many political conversations about inequality and fairness at work, which companies then started to take on-board.

Companies that have more diverse management teams have 19% higher revenue due to innovation. This finding is huge for tech companies, start-ups, and industry where innovation is the key to growth. It shows that diversity is not just a metric to be strived for, it is actually an integral part of a successful revenue generating business. – Dr. Anna Powers

There is plenty of research that supports the fact that diverse and inclusive teams and organisations do well.  There are overall improved business outcomes as part of the employee experience and HR can help support the development and implementation of diversity and inclusion across the workforce.

Companies with the most ethnically/culturally diverse boards worldwide are 43% more likely to experience higher profits. McKinsey & Company

Our A-Z list of HR experts have been collated to easily direct our readers to accessible advice and guidance on topics that are relevant in the HR field.  As diversity and inclusion is still an area that requires ongoing improvement, it’s important to highlight how other Human Resources professionals are tackling these issues.

So if you are looking to develop or improve an existing diversity and inclusion strategy across your company, take a look through our list of HR experts to gather some tips on best practices and findings.  

We always provide links to our gurus’ LinkedIn pages (found below), so you can keep up to date with the online publications they share, articles they write, speaking events they attend or initiatives they are pushing within their own places of work.

PS.

Schneider-Electric really means it. Read the company’s manifesto to diversity, it’s truly inspiring!

This means diversity and inclusion is now core to Schneider’s strategy. The company can no longer tolerate a “French-led” leadership team, or any forms of bias, discrimination, or non-inclusive thinking in its strategy. And as a result, Schneider is now truly what we call a “social enterprise.”
