Fama’s Favorite HR Influencers: Q3 2025 Edition
In Q3 2025, HR and talent acquisition continued an undeniable evolution. Digital-natives continued to reshape workplace expectations; AI continued to dominate work, hiring, and social conversations; and the risks and opportunities of emerging tech became more consequential than ever.
As the landscape changed, leading voices in HR and TA stepped up to provide clarity, practical guidance, and forward-thinking solutions, empowering employers to protect their people and culture with confidence.
