In January of this year, we launched something that we called the Workplace Tech Community. It's a think of it as the online playground where HR and innovators out there are going to be able to collaborate with each other. The third big piece of what SHRM Labs is all about is our venture capital arm. We invest into venture capital funds as well as due direct investments into startups that are strategically aligned with our overall mission,. which is a better workplaces, better world.
Guillermo Corea is the Managing Director of the SHRM Workplace Innovation Lab and Venture Capital initiatives. He joined SHRM in 2015. He and his team are focused on finding and cultivating technologies that will impact the future of work. Guillermo’s team organizes the SHRM Better Workplaces Challenge Cup and Workplace Tech Accelerator plus they lead the organization’s impact investing program. Guillermo is a vocal leader in the HRTech community.
This was a fun one because we got to record in person at SHRMTech 2023 in San Francisco. Only our fifth live recording in more than 190 episodes!
