GlobalHRstudio – About us
Mission
GlobalHRstudio is an information-based website dedicated to HR transformation and best practices on the international business scene. The website is the result of collaboration between three major players in the HR market: ADP, SAP and CorporateLeaders.
GlobalHRstudio’s primary goal is to provide news, insights, analysis, expert advice and case studies based on a network of contributors: providers, sourcing companies, consulting companies, analysts, and HR associations and networks as well as corporate end-users.
Editorial Committee
GlobalHRstudio is managed by an Editorial Committee composed of representatives from ADP, SAP and CorporateLeaders as well as a pool of independent journalists. The Editorial Committee’s mission is to identify topics of interest and major trends on the international HR market and bring complimentary analysis and viewpoints through contributions from various experts. Those contributions can take a variety of forms and include audio podcasts, videos, presentations, and articles.
GlobalHRstudio’s Editorial Committee has been structured to guarantee that the information provided reflects the contributors’ points of view, independence and avoids promoting any offerings or services that the contributors may represent.
Extended Network
GlobalHRstudio is first of all an online information and networking platform. It offers the possibility for a community of users to share opinions and post comments, advice and recommendations in reaction to the information provided. It is also the perfect place to contact experts and go deeper into specific topics.
GlobalHRstudio will also progressively offer additional services such as webcasts, networking events and workshops to the GlobalHRstudio’s subscriber community.
