Why We Research
At the HR2035 Foundation, we believe HR must lead in shaping the future of work in an AI-driven world. To do this, HR leaders need more than hype they need evidence.
Our research provides independent, data-driven insights that help organisations, policymakers, and HR professionals understand:
🔸The real state of AI adoption in HR, beyond vendor marketing
🔸How HR capabilities, governance, and ecosystems are evolving
🔸The impact of AI on the profession, workforce, and society
🔸The policy, ethical, and organisational frameworks needed to ensure AI is used responsibly
What Our Research Is Used For Today:
🔸HR leaders use it to benchmark their organisation’s AI readiness
🔸Boards use it to understand risk, value, and governance expectations
🔸Consultants and practitioners use it to guide adoption strategies
🔸Policymakers and regulators reference our findings when shaping future AI and employment frameworks
🔸Academics and students draw on it as an independent evidence base
