Celebrating two transformative years at the Josh Bersin Academy

June 11th, 2021

We’re celebrating the Josh Bersin Academy’s two-year anniversary at a time of major transformation in the role of human resources. As HR professionals, we’ve been called upon to become a fundamental part of strategic change in our industries this past year. And we’re so happy that the Josh Bersin Academy has helped nearly 30,000 human resources professionals answer this call.

In celebration of our two-year anniversary, Josh sat down with Matt Burr, CEO of Josh Bersin Academy co-creator Nomadic, to talk about the successes and surprises of the past two years, as well as plans for the Josh Bersin Academy moving forward.


Matt said that one of the unexpected things about the Academy was just how dynamic the community has been. “The level of engagement and enthusiasm is higher than we’ve seen anywhere,” Matt said.

In a time of transformation for the HR profession as a whole, these conversations have been a crucial part of guiding our members as they navigate change and help their organizations stay strategic.

Josh also highlighted how the community has been a huge part of the Josh Bersin Academy’s success, especially because it’s made up of human resources professionals who run the gamut from entry-level to senior and come from 115 countries across the globe.

“People are learning a huge amount from each other,” Josh said. “And that is really one of the secret sauces of this.”
