i4cp, the leading human capital think tank, released its much-anticipated annual deep dive into what’s next for Human Resources in its 2025 report, capturing the top initiatives of leading HR executives from the world’s most innovative and respected brands.
Representing input from C-level HR executives who oversee critical human capital functions—CHRO/CPOs, as well as leaders of Learning, Talent, Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, DE&I, Future of Work, and People Analytics—i4cp’s 2025 Priorities & Predictions report features predictions that human capital leaders can anticipate encountering in the coming year, with recommendations on how organizations can best prepare for what’s next to drive business impact.
In addition to key functional priorities, the report features emerging trends and risks as identified by i4cp’s Executive Boards, invitation-only groups of human capital leaders. One of the most popular sections each year is i4cp’s CHRO priorities, which examine issues such as maintaining agility, building a healthy culture, and ensuring strong pipelines for C-Suite succession.
This year’s report delves deeply into the most imperative topics for HR leaders, including the forward-thinking ways i4cp members are using and operationalizing Generative AI and navigating DE&I pressures. This year’s publication also serves as a gateway to the world’s largest collection of AI Use Cases in HR that i4cp has created for its members to advance their Gen AI efforts, and other resources to support the predictions.
