THE JOSH BERSIN COMPANY was founded by Josh Bersin in 2018, after he left Deloitte, where his earlier firm, Bersin & Associates, had become the professional services giant’ s HR research arm. Unlike a traditional consultancy, the firm packages its research into Galileo, a live AI knowledge base built to put decades of HR expertise directly into the hands of HR leaders. Its work now reaches more than a million HR and business leaders, according to the company. In June 2026, at the firm’ s fifth annual Irresistible conference in Los Angeles, Bersin unveiled a new blueprint, HR 2030, arguing that HR teams could shrink by 30 % as agentic AI absorbs more of the function. Bersin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Josh Bersin Company, has been blunt about the scale of that shift. He says:“ HR is facing its biggest transformation in decades.”
