In this HRchat, we’ll consider the why and how of moving out of the HR “trenches” and into an HR consulting role. We share ways AI will continue to change the HR function over the coming years.
My guest on episode 263 is Ben Eubanks, HR analyst, author, fellow podcaster, Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory, and most recently, Founder of the HR Tech Awards.
Ben operates as a human capital management industry analyst – helping companies and vendors with strategy, content, and more. He has been a speaker a decade at events such as the SHRM Annual Conference, ATD TechKnowledge, the HR Technology Conference.
Previously, Ben worked as an “in-the-trenches leader in the HR field” within smaller organizations, government contracting firms, and the non-profit sector. This means, says Ben, that “I’ve had my hands in pretty much everything at some point: recruiting, benefits, training, employee relations, executive coaching, and the rest of the spectrum you run across in an HR shop“.
