Built on what the best HR teams do differently

SHRM studied more than 1,250 organizations over five years and found the best HR teams are strong in four areas. We call these the dimensions of HR maturity, and they matter: the more mature an HR team, the more it drives the business. In one industry we studied, each step up in maturity was linked to $62,000 more revenue per employee. Yet nearly 90% of organizations are still at average or below.

HR-X Live! is built around each of those dimensions. You'll go deep in one, explore all four, and leave with a credential that proves your expertise.

Choose your focus.

Go deep in one of four areas of HR:

  • Talent: hire, grow, and keep the right people
    Talent Optimization
  • Business results: tie HR's work to performance
    Organizational Impact
  • Modern HR: discover smarter processes and AI
    Functional Acceleration
  • Where your industry is headed: anticipate change before it hits
    Market Discernment

After you register, a two-minute quiz recommends where your concentration should be, or you can self-select. Before you even arrive in Chicago, you'll begin to learn from the leading HR executive who serves as Dean of your dimension. Onsite you'll put your discoveries to the test on a real challenge before you leave.

Then explore everything else.

Explore electives across every HR dimension. Swap ideas with people who do what you do. Enjoy the HR community moments SHRM events are known for. You go home with new skills, an HR-X credential, and a playbook you can put in action.

Why we changed.

HR is being asked to prove its impact on the business in quantifiable terms. HR-X Live! is built on SHRM HR-X Maturity research and what the best HR teams do differently, so you can prove yours.

Learn From Leaders Who've Done It.

Each of the four dimensions are led by a Dean: a top HR executive who has built, scaled, and transformed HR at start-ups and major organizations. They set the bar for your credential, and you'll learn directly from them, your facilitator, and expert speakers.
