With bold keynotes, AI-powered innovation, and a decade of impact, the world's leading HR event continues to inspire people leaders to connect, recognize, and transform the future of work FRAMINGHAM, Mass., May 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Workhuman®, the world's leading employee recognition company, wrapped the tenth instance of its flagship event Workhuman Live, in Denver, where thousands of HR leaders gathered to reimagine what it means to create thriving workplace cultures. This year's Workhuman Live wasn't just a look ahead—it was a mirror held up to the profession. It asked HR leaders not just to adapt to change, but to own it. To stop supporting from the sidelines and start architecting the future of work with data, dignity, and bold decisions. From May 12–15, thousands of HR leaders, practitioners, and executives from around the globe gathered. The mainstage came alive with headlining speakers like Trevor Noah, Adam Grant, and a who's who of industry trailblazers, offering fresh insight into leadership, workplace culture, and the human experience at work. Workhuman customers shared how they're using recognition not as a perk, but as a performance strategy—showing measurable impact on engagement, retention, and inclusion. "Workhuman Live has become more than a conference—it's an entire movement," said Tom Libretto, President of Workhuman. "It's where people leaders come to recharge, rethink their impact, and return to their organizations with the tools and momentum to build better workplaces." And this year's event proved that the work of the HR industry has never been more important. Among the many highlights, Workhuman and The Wall Street Journal Leadership Institute announced the launch of the inaugural CPO Council—a first-of-its-kind coalition bringing together visionary Chief People Officers to elevate the role of HR in shaping strategic business outcomes. The Council represents a bold step forward in redefining the impact of people leaders at the highest levels of the enterprise.

‘The View' Hosts Are Anxious Over New Pope's Past Views on LGBTQ Community, Allegations of Mishandling Abuse
Robert Prevost was selected as the first American pope on Thursday, and on Friday morning, some of the hosts on 'The View' had concerns about the choice. To kick off the day's Hot Topics, host Joy Behar jokingly asked 'What do you want to bet Trump says the election was stolen' before asking for her coworkers' real thoughts on the matter. She opted to talk to the actual Catholics first, which meant Sunny Hostin kicked things off. And she was pretty hesitant. 'I'm a little concerned about this choice for the LGBTQ+ community,' she admitted. 'In 2012 he gave an address to bishops, and he lamented the popular culture fostered and sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel, and that's a quote.' 'And then he cited the 'homosexual lifestyle' and 'alternative families comprised of same sex partners and their adopted children,'' she continued. 'I think that Pope Francis certainly made great changes in terms of embracing the LGBTQ+ community and extending blessings to the community, and I hope that this Pope doesn't roll back the –' At that, both Behar and Ana Navarro cut in to defend Pope Leo, which is the title Prevost has opted to take in his new role. Navarro was quick to point out again that the quotes Hostin was referring to are more than a decade old at this point. 'In 2012, there were even a lot of American politicians who today are pro-gay marriage and pro-equal rights who were not,' Navarro said. 'So maybe, you know, with the weight of the papacy, and the idea that — he just said when he went out on the balcony that you know, the church loves everyone and was inclusive in his first message.' 'So until we see otherwise, I think we need to pray and hope that he follows in Francis's footsteps in being inclusive, forgiving, compassionate, welcoming, and speaking up for the marginalized, speaking up for the poor, speaking up for the migrants, speaking up for the targeted, speaking up for all those people that today feel alone,' she continued. Host Sara Haines jumped in at that point, echoing Hostin's concerns, and adding that she had a few others stemming from reports that the Conclave looked past allegations that Prevost had previously mishandled or failed to act on sexual abuse cases involving priests. 'The probably dirtiest stain on the Catholic Church would be the abuse of young children,' Haines said. 'So to know that that could have been looked past is difficult to reconcile, for me.' You can watch the full discussion from 'The View' in the video above.

Whoopi Goldberg refuses to discuss Meghan Markle on ‘The View': ‘Wake me up when you're done'
Meghan Markle puts Whoopi Goldberg to sleep. The 'Ghost' actress, 69, refused to engage in a Hot Topics discussion about the Duchess of Sussex, 43, on Wednesday's episode of 'The View.' The conversation focused on Markle sparking controversy for using her HRH title in a printed note to her pal Jamie Kern Lima, despite quitting her job as a working royal alongside Prince Harry in 2020. 'Damn them!' Goldberg sarcastically yelled at the table. 'Is it a bad look for Meghan to still refer to herself as a royal?' the EGOT winner asked her co-hosts, to which Sunny Hostin replied, 'No, no, it's not.' Goldberg then cut Hostin, 56, off and declared, 'Wake me up when you're done!' After the other co-hosts discussed the topic, Goldberg asked, 'Can I ask a really dumb question that I just woke up for?' 'Are we that boring?' Joy Behar jokingly asked Goldberg. 'It's the subject matter,' Goldberg responded. The 'Sister Act' star said she thinks 'it's cringier' that Lima, 47, exposed Markle's note publicly. 'To me, I think if someone gives you a gift … I don't feel like she needed to show that.' 'Whoopi, that was very insightful,' Hostin told Goldberg, who replied, 'Well yeah, I'm old enough to be insightful.' Markle caused controversy this week for the note in the gift basket she sent to Lima that read, 'With Compliments of HRH the Duchess of Sussex.' The IT Cosmetics co-founder claimed on her podcast Monday — which featured Markle as a guest — that the duchess sent the gift 'about a year ago.' Sources close to Markle told The Post that her use of the HRH title was not intended for a public purpose. Insiders further insisted that Markle didn't break her and Harry's agreement with the late Queen Elizabeth II to no longer publicly use their HRH titles following their exit from the royal family. On 'The View,' Hostin defended Markle and insisted she can use her royal title in private situations. 'The agreement that was made did not remove the title. It restricted the way it was to be used. It was not to be used publicly,' said Hostin. 'And she was giving a friend some strawberry jam that she made herself and she wrote, 'HRH The Duchess of Sussex.' That was a private gift,' she added. But Alyssa Farah Griffin called Markle's actions 'a little cringe,' though she also called out 'petty' Prince William for his rumored plan to strip Markle and Harry, 40, of their HRH titles when he becomes king. 'Like, you only live once. Make up with your brother and his wife,' Griffin, 35, said about William's ongoing feud with the Sussexes. Meanwhile, Sara Haines criticized Markle for using her royal title with her friends. 'It's kind of like a doctor when you keep referring to them as Doc and they're like, 'Call me Susan.' I would never refer to myself as Her Royal Highness,' Haines, 47, said. 'The View' airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
