Who We Are
The HR Leadership Forum is a network of experts who provide ideas,
information and resources to assist senior decision-makers in linking people
strategies to business outcomes.
We are a not-for-profit volunteer organization chartered to meet the needs
of public, private, government and nonprofit organizations of all
sizes.
In 2008, the Pittsburgh Human Resource Planning Society became the HR
Leadership Forum of Western Pennsylvania. Why the name change?
Many companies today believe that what differentiates them from their
competition is their people. If that is true, then human resources
professionals must be effective leaders in their organizations. That means
more that planning. It means anticipating marketplace and workforce change,
continual learning, collaborating to identify optimal solutions, embracing
change and leading others to make change happen effectively.
Today we must plan and act much more quickly than ever before. To be
effective in today's world, we must be willing to explore, share and learn
from others. We need a forum to encourage and support these types of
behaviors. We need to be more than planners, functional experts and
managers: we must be effective leaders in our organizations; we must make
more timely recommendations and decisions than ever before. The HR
Leadership Forum is where leaders in human resources stay at the top
of their game. It’s where organizations come for HR leadership ideas.
