The Evolution of The Josh Bersin Company
In 2001, Josh Bersin founded Bersin & Associates, which became the leading research and advisory company for corporate learning, talent management, and HR. In 2012, Josh sold the company to Deloitte, when it became known as Bersin by Deloitte. As a Deloitte partner, Bersin was involved in many HR and learning engagements and was a principal author of Deloitte’s annual Human Capital Trends Report. He retired from Deloitte in 2018.
In 2019, Josh founded the Josh Bersin Academy, a professional development academy for HR and learning professionals. The Academy offers cohort-based courses covering the fundamentals of topics ranging from people analytics to HR technology to talent acquisition.
In 2020, he put together a team of analysts and advisors who are now working with him to support and guide HR organizations from around the world under the umbrella of The Josh Bersin Company. Recently published research covers topics such as hybrid and deskless work, HR technology market trends, employee experience, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
In addition to the company’s ongoing research, Josh created the Big Reset, a series of collaborative sprints for HR executives, to tackle the workforce challenges of the pandemic. The Big Reset groups continue to meet to help participants brainstorm on ways to address hiring challenges, the need for new leadership practices, and diversity and equity. Big Reset work is summarized after each sprint in special reports.
