Practical HR Tips, News & Advice. Updated Daily.
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 […]
Artificial intelligence can make recruiting faster, but legal responsibility does not disappear when technology enters the hiring process. That point is being tested in Mobley v. Workday, Inc., Case No. 3:23-cv-00770- RFL (N.D.

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. And employers are having to comply. As AI use grows, so too does it’s many compliance issues. […]
Many HR leaders are rushing to use AI to automate routine, repetitive tasks. The goal seems obvious: clear out the busy work so employees can focus entirely on high-value, complex projects. But Kevin Bishop, Director of Talent Development at LinkedIn, warns that this approach might accidentally be driving your team straight toward burnout. In a […]
A recent study by Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) provides new large-scale evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) hiring tools can produce racially disparate outcomes.
