Please describe the publication's mission and readership:
Human Resource Executive® fulfills a unique role as the magazine and website of record for more than 75,000 human resource vice presidents and executive vice presidents at primarily U.S.-based corporations, institutions and agencies. Since its inception in 1987, it has stayed true to its mission to offer insights and shared wisdom about the profession that would be of primary interest to HR executives who head departments; oversee a wide range of functions, including training, benefits, recruitment and relocation; and are responsible for strategic workforce planning at their companies. The editors of HRE are dedicated to delivering content that brings needed perspective and guidance to senior HR leaders, including stories they can’t find elsewhere about their profession and how it’s being impacted by larger business trends. The HRE team finds and brings HR leaders the stories and trends within larger news topics —issues that may be keeping them up at night—and offers innovative solutions for how to address these challenges.
Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
The market for HR-technology products is crowded and growing more complicated by the day. That’s why the editors of Human Resource Executive® undertake an annual marketwide analysis each year to determine the most promising new tools that can help HR and IT leaders meet their organizations' evolving needs.
For its annual Top HR Products effort, a team of HRE editors and writers undergo live demonstrations for each new tech tool that vendors nominate, rating each on innovation and effectiveness. Products cover the span of segments within the HR industry, addressing issues including recruitment, retention, benefits, onboarding, compensation and more. A panel of experts in the field of HR technology also contribute their perspectives to narrow the pool of candidates to the final 10 winners. The attached editorial submission showcases the winners, detailing what sets each apart from other products on the market. Each product summary was written by the editorial team member who demo’d that solution.
While modern HR leaders are expected to be tech-savvy to a degree, many do not have specific IT backgrounds, a consideration at the forefront of HRE’s Top Products editorial content. The product rankings are written such that HR professionals can appreciate the innovative technology that has gone into the creation of each tool while also seeing the real-world application for their respective organizations. Top HR Products is a highly anticipated and extremely valuable tool to help HR leaders evaluate, purchase and implement new technology to make their people processes more efficient and effective.
