'Guest Post by Jim Webber While I was at the local coffee shop this week, I noticed a young father typing away on his computer as his baby napped in his lap. The thing that caught my attention was that no one else paid any attention. He was just another guy doing some work while enjoying his latte. It made me happy. It was very different twenty years ago when my two daughters were toddlers and I was a newly single dad.

'With slightly more L&D resources this year, organizations are increasing their training offerings.

The key word here is effective training programs.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

'I think the best alternative to measuring HR in financial terms is to link HR activities and Human Capital outcomes of these activities to financial results through an HR scorecard or strategy map. Note this is different to trying to put a financial measure on HR – it’s just about understanding from a strategic perspective what impacts HR is likely to have, and using this as a management tool to get better at making this sort of prediction about organisational performance.

Dear Evil HR Lady, After two years of unemployment, desperate job hunting and massive amount of resumes sent, I was finally HIRED! And now I am miserable. The job is in my career field but it’s a linear move which can be seen as over-experienced issue (not an over-qualified issue). My daily work consists of administrative assisting for an Associate Director which was not included in the job description, as well as working as the Scholarship Coordinator.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.
