Blogs

As summer winds down, we’re taking a moment to spotlight the incredible contributions from the Human Capital Management Systems (HCMS) community. Think of this as your summer newsletter—a curated roundup of discussions, webinars, and blogs that have emerged thanks to the energy and collaboration sparked by Alliance 2025 back in the spring.

The HCMS CoP Champions have been hard at work, channeling that post-Alliance momentum into meaningful engagement. We know it’s not always possible to attend every session or catch every blog post, but rest assured: the resources are here when you need them.

Below, you’ll find a collection of content shared with the community this summer (May to July), covering everything from foundational topics to innovative tools and troubleshooting tips. While CoP Champions facilitate these sessions, it’s the active participation from community members that truly makes them valuable. This season, we’re especially grateful to community members who stepped up to lead sessions this summer—your expertise and generosity make a real difference.

We’re committed to continuing this momentum and welcome your feedback on future topics. And once August wraps up—our HCMS Spotlight Month—we’ll be back with another quick blog highlighting this month’s sessions.
