A Deep Dive into AI in the Workplace with Vinay Gidwaney, Chief Product Officer at OneDigital
Last Year, We Brought Bold Strategies. This Year, We're Reaching New Heights.
SHRM25 marked a milestone for OneDigital. For the first time, we arrived at the SHRM Annual Conference & Expo as a unified team with sector-specific excellence in mission-driven workforce strategy.
In San Diego, our experts offered personalized mini consults spanning total rewards, organizational design, employee benefits, leadership transitions, retirement planning, and more. We took the Expo Theater stage twice, and brought the social impact community together at the exclusive Impact Exchange reception, a private gathering for executives from nonprofits, associations, and social enterprises.
The response was clear: HR leaders and mission-driven organizations are hungry for an advisor who can meet the full scope of their needs, from benefits strategy to financial services to people-first HR consulting. Now, we're back. With a deeper bench, a bigger platform, and even more to bring to the table.
See what we have in store this year.
