Every HR vendor considers themselves an industry leader. Bersin & Associates is one of the few that can legitimately lay claim to the title.
A research and consulting firm with a client list that's a Who's Who of the Fortune 1000, Bersin's influence extends far beyond the private recommendations and advice it provides. As the only research and advisory firm focused solely on research in enterprise learning and talent management, its publicly available publications and analyst
reports are used by HR professionals to make purchase decisions and decide strategy.
Bersin consultants work with client companies on a broad range of HR talent issues, but are most heavily involved in strategy, process design, system selection, and benchmarking.
Companies - and individuals - become "members," giving them access to an extensive library of research, papers, case studies, presentations and bulletins on trends, releases, technology and the like. Members are entitled to speak with analysts about specific issues and, in addition, can network with other Bersin members in discussion groups and privately.
Membership is not cheap, but the client list and the frequency with which its analysts are quoted and its reports referenced is testament nt to the value offered by the firm.
