HR.com Establishes State of Legal and Compliance Advisory Board for 2025

HR.com, the leading community and resource hub for HR professionals, has announced the formation of its State of Legal and Compliance Advisory Board for 2025. This strategic initiative aims to address the growing complexities in legal and compliance issues facing HR professionals today.

The newly established board brings together six distinguished leaders from various industries, each recognized for their expertise in employment law, compliance strategy, or workplace policy. Their collective knowledge will be instrumental in shaping HR.com's research initiatives and virtual events throughout 2025, ensuring that the organization continues to provide cutting-edge resources for HR professionals navigating an increasingly complex legal and regulatory landscape.

Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, emphasized the importance of this development, stating, "With compliance issues growing in complexity, it's vital for HR professionals to have access to expert guidance to avoid risks and potential penalties. This board of industry leaders will help shape the resources and tools needed to support HR leaders in meeting these challenges."

The advisory board's insights will contribute to a comprehensive research report published by the HR Research Institute, offering detailed analysis and recommendations for HR professionals. Additionally, a condensed two-page infographic will be produced to provide quick reference to key points, making essential information easily accessible to busy professionals.

One of the key events stemming from this initiative is the upcoming HR.com's State of Legal and Compliance 2025 Virtual Event, scheduled for April 22, 2025. This event will feature a full day of informative sessions led by subject matter experts, providing attendees with valuable insights into the latest trends and best practices in HR legal and compliance matters.

The newly appointed State of Legal and Compliance 2025 Advisory Board includes notable industry thought leaders such as Frank Fiorille, Vice President of Risk, Compliance, and Data Analytics at Paychex; Gillian Godjas, Compliance HR Specialist and Administrative Director at Belzona; and Bryn Goodman, Partner at Fox Rothschild, among others. Their diverse backgrounds and expertise will ensure a comprehensive approach to addressing the multifaceted challenges in the HR legal and compliance domain.

This initiative builds upon HR.com's track record of providing valuable industry insights. The organization's HR Research Institute regularly releases annual "State of the Industry" reports on various HR topics. HR professionals can access these resources, including the previous State of Legal Compliance and Employment Law 2024 report, through HR.com's research institute platform.

The formation of this advisory board and the resulting research and events are expected to have a significant impact on the HR industry. By providing HR professionals with expert-guided resources and insights, HR.com aims to empower organizations to better navigate the complex legal and compliance landscape, potentially reducing risks and improving overall workplace practices.

As regulatory environments continue to evolve and new challenges emerge, the role of such advisory boards becomes increasingly crucial. HR professionals stand to benefit from the collective wisdom and foresight of these industry leaders, enabling them to stay ahead of potential legal and compliance issues and implement best practices within their organizations.

The HR community can look forward to a wealth of valuable information and guidance throughout 2025, as the State of Legal and Compliance Advisory Board's influence shapes HR.com's research and event offerings. This initiative underscores the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in the ever-changing field of human resources, particularly in areas as critical as legal compliance and risk management.
