Moderna recently announced https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gtQkBpWz they merged their technology and HR functions, choosing the CHRO to lead the newly combined group. This is exciting news. It validates how any tech enablement within organizations will impact people, and that the business leader best positioned to help strategize and govern organizational change is the CHRO. As an HR leader, I am biased and think this is a great idea, but in my conversations with other HR leaders, I'm realizing this announcement had mixed responses. Like any business strategy, one size does not fit all, and the Moderna model is not for all organizations. However, we’re in a defining moment in that technology is changing HR operations and the employee experience (EX). HR leaders already leverage software to run their functions, however AI is ushering in a new era. Some CHRO’s manage their own tech stacks and budgets while others partner with the CIO and share governance. Jill Barth HR Tech Editor in HR Executive interviews Saket Srivastava, CIO for Asana (a workforce management platform), about his partnership with Anna Binder, CHRO. They’ve created a “fundamental partnership” to keep EX and tech aligned. Srivastava says, “Digital employee experience is a thing.” As the article states, “The emergence of generative AI…started with considerable hype…has evolved into a rapid transformation that requires careful management.” Barriers or silos erected previously need to be torn down as technology across the enterprise impacts the employee value proposition, employee experience and engagement. The CIO and CHRO working collaboratively unlocks greater potential. Here are a few takeaways in the article: 💠 Form an AI council to help promote and solicit employee feedback. 💠 Consider joint investment and vendor road map to deliver digital employee experience. 💠 CHRO is the people-centric voice in tech initiatives. Together, CHROs and CIOs are better positioned to drive strategy outcomes and not just deploy systems. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/g_EXdbaY #CHRO #HRIS #CIO #strategicHR #changemanagement #HRexecutive

When a national healthcare practice came to us with a payroll and benefits outsourcing problem, they needed help to figure out the right solution. Dissatisfied with their current services, they wanted a way to unbundle their payroll software and services contract with an existing vendor, but they were having trouble connecting with the right people in the software company to get the job done. As we delved a bit deeper into their struggle, we discovered they were getting the runaround because the right questions were not being asked and they were getting routed to the wrong people. We tapped into our expert network, and our consultant both identified the right contact inside the software vendor—someone who could fix the problem—and helped our client ask the right questions to make sure things were done to their specifications. Once this issue was solved, our clients were able to get back on track with their project plan and a smooth implementation. And now, with the new payroll vendor and system online, they're better prepared to scale as their needs change. #hris #payrollsoftware #vendormanagement #hr #hrconsulting #hereshowwehelp #brighttalent

HR leaders: The use of AI within businesses has increased significantly, but for most organizations, the ability to track its ROI has been difficult. Aside from time saved completing tasks, the actual measured time savings and financial benefits have been elusive. With the evolution into Agentic AI, some organizations, like PepsiCo, are taking a more methodical approach. This article by Lindsey Wilkinson in CIO Dive highlights PepsiCo’s strategy and approach integrating AI into operations. PepsiCo realized it was time to begin showing real ROI for AI and avoid perpetual piloting. They took a dual strategy to allow people to play and set a strict agenda. There are a few good links imbedded in the article that are worth reading for additional context, especially the link on use cases and growing skepticism around Generative AI which supports PepsiCo's approach. PepsiCo’s EVP and Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Dr. Athina Kanioura, makes a compelling remark about the quest for piloting to find the right use cases while advancing the agenda: “We will not stifle innovation, but we also need to move toward getting the big ROI on those investments in the places that matter most.” Here are few other key takeaways from the article for HR leaders to consider as the use of AI integrates into operations: 💠 Establish an internal sandbox to promote experimentation and testing. 💠 Establish key priorities and make a bet on the handful of uses that impact the business the most. 💠 Take the time to establish the foundation for data management, do not rush the strategy or risk quality and governance issues. As HR operations increasingly become tech (AI) enabled, HR leaders can learn from and collaborate with CIOs to usher in strategically aligned, AI people practices. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/ge_A3hPZ #HRIS #CHRO #HRtech #AIHR #CIO #CIODive

HR Leaders, I want to share a "wake up" moment recently highlighted in the news. It was reported that a recent graduate of UCLA, while sitting in the commencement ceremony, held up his laptop for the camera and showed the ChatGPT prompts he used to complete his final project to earn his degree. Why does this matter? Everything we hold in principle about adult learning and development is rapidly changing. This includes all of your employees and how they do their jobs. The example above has opened up the discussion about the purpose of higher learning and the practices required to earn a degree. And it opens up a similar discussion about how employees should adopt AI and how it enables them to complete tasks. HR leaders are uniquely positioned to take lead in this conversation, as CEO's challenge business leaders to find efficiencies and productivity gains with the integration of AI. But at the root of this challenge is adult learning and the acceptance of, or resistance to, change. This article by David McCurdy in Fast Company does a great job of articulating the need to take control of the narrative and process in how we empower our workforce to thrive in the AI era. It is safe to call it a change management project with the primary change objective being employee behavior. I particularly like some key points he makes: 💠 Adapting and evolving with AI shouldn't come at the expense of the teammates it's intended to help. 💠 Organizations benefit from fostering a culture of learning, particularly when undergoing enterprise-wide transformations. 💠 Encouraging a test-and-learn mentality around new technology has helped at Insight. 💠 According to a recent Insight survey, 75% of employees believe investing in AI-powered devices will help their employer stay competitive, and a similar number (73%) expect it to help them be more productive. The irony about the graduate using ChatGPT to earn a degree is not dissimilar to how he will likely function in his career to earn a paycheck. We're at the threshold of change with our employees as we reskill/upskill our existing workforce while adapting with the skills of our new hires. Let me know what you think. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/g6K69dzt #changemanagement #aihr #adultlearning #learninganddevelopment #strategichr #chro #fastcompany
