It's an important source of news that I use every week."

"The World of Work provides the latest business intelligence through an HR lens. We couldn't have a more fitting partner than the Josh Bersin Academy, whose raison d'etre is to connect HR professionals with the latest thinking in a single place," commented Richard Phelps, founder of Human Times.
