Introducing · Executive Network

A curated peer network for senior HR leaders running small and mid sized organizations.

Most CHROs, CPOs, VP People, SVPs, VPs and HR Directors at small and mid sized organizations face the same complexity as enterprise leaders, without enterprise resources. Global compliance, M&A, restructuring, AI transformation, all on your desk. Often, you are the only person in the building solving these specific problems.

The Executive Network is a curated, members-only circle of senior HR Executives at organizations your size, facing the same reality you are. Powered by Hacking HR. Designed for the most senior HR decision-maker in the company.

Why this network exists

"Senior HR Executives in small and mid sized organizations face the same complexity as enterprise leaders, without the same resources."

Hacking HR has worked with HR professionals globally for years and identified a clear gap: no executive network exists for this specific segment. The Executive Network was built to solve that.

The full ecosystem.

More than a forum. The structural support required for high-impact decision making.

  • Monthly Global HR Intelligence Report. Legislative and regulatory updates affecting employment, labor, benefits, and HR compliance across major global markets. Compensation benchmarking trends. Workforce and talent market intelligence. AI and technology developments directly relevant to HR strategy. Synthesized for senior leaders, not researchers.
  • Peer Cohort Groups. Curated groups of 8 to 12 senior HR Executives matched by company size, industry, and challenge area. You meet monthly in a confidential setting with people facing the same reality.
  • AI Coaching Hours and AI Transformation Program. Confidential group coaching with AI transformation practitioners. Pressure-test pilots, governance frameworks, and rollout strategy with people who have done it before. Plus a guided journey to embed AI across talent acquisition, performance, learning, and people operations.
  • The Sandbox. A new policy you need to write? Share a draft, get peer redlines, walk away with language already tested by other CHROs. A problem with a difficult manager? Bring it to peers who have navigated the same dynamics. A change initiative gone wrong? Pressure-test the recovery plan with peers who can see what your team is too close to see.
  • Office Hours. Drop-in access to senior members, Hacking HR faculty, and invited practitioners across employment law, compensation strategy, AI in HR, talent acquisition, and organizational design.
  • Annual In-Person Event. Once a year, the full network comes together in person. A full-day experience designed to deepen relationships and accelerate the learning that happens all year in the virtual community.
  • Global Conference Access. Exclusive discounted rates to leading global HR conferences and events through Hacking HR's growing partnerships.
  • A dedicated, gated platform. Members-only space, fully separate from the general community, built for the way senior executives work.

Independent benchmarks. Real signal.

The intelligence you receive is grounded in real market evidence. We partner with independent data providers to keep it rigorous and unbiased.

  • Salary.com for compensation benchmarking and pay equity analytics across millions of jobs.
  • QuestionPro for enterprise survey and employee experience research powering workforce sentiment data.
