The Changing Role of HR in an AI World

We live in an era where there's perhaps more focus than ever before on how an organization treats its employees. Stories about gender-based pay gaps, lack of diversity, and sexual harassment are front-page news around the world. The ensuing outrage from stockholders and the public have pummeled share prices and reputations, with more than a few top executives going from C-suite to unemployment line as a result. If there were ever a time when HR leaders needed to be more actively involved at the highest levels of the enterprise, it's now. The value that a great HR executive can bring to an organization is enormous, from preventing that loss of reputation to boosting worker engagement and productivity, to being the moral compass of an organization.
