Congratulations New Zealanders, you're winning at HR innovation! I recently caught up with two of the leading experts on the future of work, Bill Boorman and Jason Averbook, who were blown away by the scale of HR innovation they'd witnessed in NZ.

Jason Averbook is acknowledged as one of the top three thought-leaders globally on the future of work. He is a leading analyst in HR, the future of work and the impact technology has on that future. He has more than 20 years of experience in HR and technology and a deep understanding of how technology can be applied to common business problems. His passion is to help organisations realise the true value of their workforce and the impact that workforce has on the bottom line results of the business.

Bill Boorman is never far from a challenging view. He has a simple vision: to make recruitment better for everyone. He is uniquely positioned to achieve this vision by working with companies on their technology and approach, with talent tech vendors on their product road map, and with V.C.s on their investments in this sector. He's a judge and advocate for the UK #CandE (candidate experience awards), blogs regularly, produces monthly white papers and is the author of “The Cult of Workâ€'.
