The HR landscape is undergoing a seismic shift due to rapid technological change and cultural disruptions. As an HR professional, you may feel overwhelmed by the slew of trends and technologies plastered all over your newsfeed. In this session, I will break down these trends into manageable summaries and give you actions you can take right now to prepare yourself for the future of HR technology.

This session will be highly interactive and feature opportunities for HR professionals to share what they are doing and ask questions about the future.

At this lab you will:

• Gain a holistic overview of the latest technology trends within HR such as Generative AI, People Analytics, VR/AR, Blockchain, and Flexible/Remote/Hybrid work. Learn what these ideas mean and the real-world impacts they could have on you and your organizations.
• Understand how you can use Generative AI in your daily tasks to free up time and mental energy. We will work through use cases together.
• Learn how to build pilot projects to implement innovative HR technologies and processes using a “Start Small and Iterate” framework.
• Cultivate an innovative mindset within HR teams by fostering a culture that encourages experimentation, continuous learning, and upskilling.
