About HR Leader

We’re experiencing an evolution in how people work and what people expect from work. This shift puts HR and people leaders front and centre of their organisations, shaping the talent agenda today and tomorrow.

HR is no longer asking for a seat at the table, they’re firmly placed at the head. HR is leading the conversations that impact workforces, understanding people are at the core of business, and critical for Australia’s future prosperity.

People management and leadership have undergone notable transformations since the start of COVID-19, but these changes are only the beginning.

HR Leader has been created to lead the HR and people leaders that have come out of these unprecedented changes through the exciting but challenging times to come.

At HR Leader, we’re passionate about HR and people, and as part of Momentum Media with years of HR experience in-team, we’re equipped to provide the dedicated support and inspiration the industry needs to move forward quickly.

We're here to help you push the envelope on how you and your team think about HR and people management. We’ll provide leadership on HR’s top concerns and roadblocks, while delivering the ideas that will shape tomorrow’s workplaces.

Engage with HR Leader for:

  • deeper data-backed insights
  • real-life stories from people and HR leaders who’ve "been there and done that" and found a better way
  • academic perspectives to aid in "out of the box" thinking
  • formats that are easy to absorb

These are the cornerstones of HR Leader!

Listen to the podcasts and stay up to date with the articles for fresh content and a new perspective on HR and people leadership.
