Since 2019, The Most Inclusive HR Influencer List™ has been an industry staple that celebrates leading HR voices from around the world. It’s a crowdsourced initiative designed to diversify voices of influence in HR and HR technology. 

These past two years have been especially challenging. We’re thrilled to celebrate 300 HR Influencers in 2021 who have risen to the challenge and supported the HR community and their employees along the way. See the top HR Influencers in 2021.

See the award that features 300 HR leaders and Influencers across Human Resources, Talent Acquisition, Diversity and Inclusion, Learning, Technologists, Consultants, and HR Tech Marketers.

Each winner was nominated as a person who influences the HR community both off and online. As an influencer, each person on the list has at least 1,500 followers on a single platform, talks about HR topics, is currently in HR, and makes an effort to improve the HR profession.

In Memory of Chris Fields and Callie Zipple
