Founder Members to Partially Underwrite Research

The Consortium also intends to expand RedThread’s promise to explore tech trends and bring impartial analysis across diverse HR and L&D topics. Talking about the announcement, Stacia Garr, co-founder and principal analyst at RedThread Research, saidOpens a new window , “We take a principled and meticulous approach to how we do research. When you see RedThread’s name, we want you to immediately know it is going to be honest, unbiased research. This Consortium is a way that we can continue to deliver on that promise — and also invite our members to be part of our bigger commitment to high-quality analysis.â€
Furthermore, companies that become members of the Consortium will gain access to an exclusive virtual hub where they can share ideas, ask questions, and spark innovations. Members can share relevant data with RedThread Research and work each year with customers to deliver key insights into the HR Tech industry through questionnaires. Members are also expected to gain exclusive or early access to more unbiased, substantive, and actionable research.
The Consortium is also expected to develop channels for organizations to communicate with each other, give feedback on proposed research questions, and contribute to data gathering.

Tech Consortium To Support a Few Research Projects This Year

Despite the Consortium enabling RedThread Research to do this work, other HR Tech vendors can still participate in the studies.
“We have been excited to see so many member brands who are committed to objective, high-quality research. These companies understand how important it is to earn trust, and uphold integrity. The Tech Consortium is about furthering that dedication to quality — but it is also about creating community. Part of creating this resource is bringing these companies into closer conversation with one another — and with us,†saidOpens a new window Dani Johnson, co-founder and principal analyst, RedThread Research.
More organizations can be expected to become the Consortium’s members this year.
