Betterworks Announces 2025 EmpowerHR Americas Summit: Redefining HR Leadership for an AI-Driven Future

Dynamic virtual event to equip HR leaders with tools, insights, and strategies for shaping tomorrow’s workforce.

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Betterworks, the leading modern performance management software company, is proud to announce the EmpowerHR 2025 Summit, an event offering unparalleled access to world-class thought leaders, real-world insights from industry executives like Lincoln Financial and LivePerson, and cutting-edge HR strategies aimed at lasting organizational change.

EmpowerHR is more than a learning event. It’s an opportunity for HR leaders to connect with industry trailblazers and gain access to proven strategies for navigating an era defined by AI and workforce transformation. This year’s theme, “Beyond Performance: Shaping Teams for the Future,” centers on how HR leaders drive strategic impact in their organizations, especially during a time of accelerating change.

“Organizations, like people, are defined by their habits—some foster growth, innovation, and resilience, while others hold progress back,” said Charles Duhigg, The New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit. “HR leaders are uniquely positioned to shape the habits of their workforce, guiding teams to embrace behaviors that drive transformation and fuel success.”

EmpowerHR 2025 will explore how to identify and build the habits that enable organizations to adapt, thrive, and unlock their full potential in an era of extraordinary change.

“EmpowerHR 2025 is designed for leaders ready to step up and reimagine how work gets done,” said Doug Dennerline, CEO of Betterworks. “HR leaders hold the keys to unlocking the full potential of their workforce. This event leaves no stone unturned. From garnering C-Suite buy-in for your transformation programs to implementing cutting-edge applications of generative AI, we've built a day of programming that inspires and delivers the playbook.”
