Human resources is no longer just a support function. It is a strategic driver of organizational success. Today's HR leaders are expected to deliver results that balance people, performance, and broader business outcomes.

In this special multi-part series, The Future of HR - Beyond Tech, recorded live at the 2026 Philly SHRM Symposium, we'll explore what it really means to practice modern HR in a workplace that's evolving faster than ever. Looking beyond AI and technology, the series offers a candid discussion of how HR professionals can expand their influence, lead with both strategy and humanity, and keep people at the center of every decision.

In this first installment of the series, we'll talk with Corey Crapella, owner and Principal Consultant of Core Coaching and Consulting, and Melissa Sherry, owner and Principal Consultant of Workswell Consulting.  We'll discuss people-centered leadership, thoughtful technology adoption, authenticity, and the evolving role of HR as a bridge between employees and business strategy.
