Practical HR Tips, News & Advice. Updated Daily.
Ninety-five percent of U.S. organizations now require AI fluency when hiring. Yet 59% of hiring managers report that, in the last year, they’ve hired someone who demonstrated AI fluency in the interview but ultimately failed to perform on the job. That doesn’t necessarily point to an AI hiring problem. It reflects a challenge hiring managers […]
Today’s workplace is weird. Employees are highly connected to their technology, constantly communicating with an army of AI chatbots, SaaS services, and digital collaboration platforms. At the same time, they are profoundly disconnected from their customers and co-workers. Constant digitalization, remote work, and now outsourcing communication to AI have created an empathy and soft-skills deficit. […]
HR professionals are no strangers to change, and the rise of AI has caused a drastic shift in the way that HR teams manage day-to-day work, hiring processes, and employee experience. While these shifts can bring positive opportunities for the ways that teams work, recent insights from HR professionals reveal that AI transformation isn’t without […]
It’s 10 a.m. and Maria asks an AI tool to draft a summary. The answer comes back fast but not quite right, so she pastes the same request into a second tool to see if it does better, then a third, because the second one was missing context the first one had. Thirty minutes disappear […]

What does this mean for employers? Well, thanks […]
A CFO uses an AI assistant to draft a board update before the Monday morning meeting ends. Down the hall, employees performing similar knowledge work remain stuck with old processes because access, training, managerial support, and incentives never arrived. That divide exposes the real AI adoption gap: companies can appear technologically advanced while most daily […]
With Pope Leo XIV releasing an encyclical back in May, largely condemning the use of generative AI, we’ve seen cases begin to surface of employees asking for religious accommodations to exempt them from using AI in their roles.
