Meet the woman who understands how robots think and more importantly, how we think about them. Professor Kerstin Fischer brings over 20 years of research expertise to this fascinating exploration of human-robot interaction and what it means for our workplaces.The conversation delves into a critical distinction most of us miss: the power of embodiment. While we're all getting comfortable with screen-based AI like ChatGPT, Kirsten reveals why physical robots fundamentally change our response to artificial intelligence. "Robots differ from other interactional technologies by means of their embodiment—they have physical bodies in the physical world," Kerstin explains. This physicality triggers a psychological mechanism called "depiction," where we simultaneously recognize robots as machines while constructing characters for them.This matters for workplaces starting to integrate robotic systems. Kerstin shares eye-opening research with hosts Pauline James and David Creelman - showing how robots mimicking specific speech patterns (like Steve Jobs) dramatically increased compliance, even when giving incorrect directions. She also discusses fascinating applications already being developed, including therapeutic robots encouraging patient mobility after surgery and telepresence robots that create meaningful presence for remote workers. "With the robot, it was as if she was there," Fisher notes about a student using telepresence technology, highlighting the profound potential for belonging that these systems create.Perhaps most surprising is Kerstin's counterintuitive warning that embodied robots may actually pose less risk than invisible AI systems. "Because of the embodiment of robots, you have an agent... whereas if you are using AI for human resource management or pre-screening applications, that is not visible." This transparency distinction represents a critical consideration for HR professionals navigating the rapidly evolving technology landscape.

In this episode of the HRchat Show, Bill Banham talks with Douglas Leach about the upcoming Disrupt London and HR Analytics Summits. Doug's journey to founding the HR Analytics Summit reads like a masterclass in entrepreneurial resilience. Launching his venture in October 2019 - mere months before a global pandemic would shut down in-person events worldwide - Doug faced what seemed like insurmountable challenges. But as he reveals in this captivating conversation, what initially appeared disastrous ultimately became advantageous."Not every disaster is a disaster," Doug shares, explaining how multiple postponements created extended marketing windows that drove registrations. By the time the event finally happened in 2021, it had completely sold out. Even a venue cancellation one month before the show transformed into a blessing when they secured the prestigious Brewery venue at a discount, accommodating their larger-than-expected audience.The discussion dives into the current people analytics landscape, revealing surprising disparities in implementation maturity. While some organizations operate sophisticated systems seeking marginal improvements, others – including unexpectedly large companies – still rely heavily on Excel. Doug offers a memorable analogy: "Big companies are oil tankers, small companies are speedboats," explaining why smaller, more agile organizations often implement modern analytics solutions more efficiently than their enterprise counterparts struggling with legacy systems.Artificial intelligence emerges as a central theme throughout the conversation. Doug and Bill highlight the significant challenge organizations face when implementing AI: employee skepticism and fear of replacement. The discussion ventures into thought-provoking territory when addressing Bill Gates' recent prediction that AI might enable two-day workweeks. While acknowledging the potential benefits, Doug raises important questions about economic implications, as he imagines shareholders saying: "If we can get away with having two days a week work, why should we be paying people for five days?"Connect with Doug on LinkedIn or at hranalyticssummit.com to learn more about his work transforming the people analytics landscape.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

Ever wondered what Formula One racing and career websites have in common? More than you might think, according to Bryan Adams, CEO and founder of Happydance, who recently joined Bill Banham on the HRchat Show to discuss an innovative new campaign that's bringing F1-inspired competition to the talent acquisition space.The "Careers Site Grand Prix" pits career websites against each other, measuring their performance in speed, accessibility, and SEO – creating an F1-style leaderboard complete with weekly podiums and seasonal champions. This timing perfectly aligns with Formula One's 75th anniversary celebrations and the iconic Silverstone Grand Prix.Bryan, a two-time bestselling author with 20 years in employer branding and a past guest on our sister show, the People and Performance Podcast, shared a startling statistic that frames the entire conversation: for every second past three seconds that your career website takes to load, you lose 10% of your audience. "You're not up against other career websites," Adams explains. "You're up against Amazon and Netflix, TikTok and Instagram" – platforms that have dramatically reduced our patience for digital experiences.The parallels between F1 and talent acquisition run deep. Just as racing teams seek marginal gains through precise optimization and teamwork, organizations must optimize their career sites across multiple dimensions – load speed, accessibility, mobile responsiveness, and personalization – to create winning candidate experiences. As more candidates browse and apply for jobs on mobile devices, meeting them where they are becomes increasingly critical.What's refreshing about Bryan's approach is his emphasis that creating high-performing career sites isn't just about having Fortune 100-level resources. It's about getting fundamentals right, measuring what matters, and using data to drive continuous improvement, much like successful F1 teams. When asked which F1 team Happydance resembles, Bryan bypassed the obvious powerhouses to identify with teams that "are constantly punching above their weight, constantly relying on ingenuity, creativity, teamwork, new innovation."Want to see how your organization's career site measures up?

What happens when artificial intelligence meets human connection in the workplace?  Jesse Harriott, Executive Director of Workhuman iQ, reveals a groundbreaking approach to workplace analytics that's transforming how organizations understand their people and culture.Dive into the Human Intelligence 2025 release from Workhuman, which leverages recognition data to uncover hidden insights about skills, leadership, and collaboration. While traditional HR technologies focus on operational metrics like headcount and turnover, this approach analyzes the human moments that drive performance – when employees recognize each other's contributions and strengths."Human intelligence is about unlocking the data that's been there all along," Harriot explains. "It's turning feelings into facts." By applying natural language processing to unstructured recognition moments, organizations gain visibility into their "culture graph" – how work actually gets done beyond the formal org chart. This creates powerful applications for leadership development, succession planning, and retention strategies.The approach has particular value for identifying "hidden gems" – potential leaders whose contributions might be overlooked in traditional performance reviews. Rather than relying solely on self-reported skills or closed-door leadership discussions, Human Intelligence reveals patterns of exceptional performance based on peer recognition.Ready to transform how you understand your organization's culture and talent? Discover why companies are turning to human intelligence to complement their talent strategies and build more inclusive, high-performing workplaces. Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

The human element of HR technology is often overlooked in favor of features and functions but, as our latest HRchat episode reveals, successful HCM technology implementation hinges on strategic alignment with business goals and effective change management.Jacqueline Kuhn and Priscilla Redd Sparrow, two of the four authors of the newly updated second edition of HRchitect's Guide to HCM Technology: What You Need to Know Before Your Next HCM Technology Purchase, share crucial insights that challenge conventional thinking about HR technology investments. The most striking revelation? Many HR leaders still position technology as a departmental efficiency tool rather than what it should be – a strategic business asset that puts critical information in decision-makers' hands.When evaluating potential vendors, beware of representatives who dance around direct questions or offer superficial change management support disguised as comprehensive solutions. As Priscilla explains, effective change management goes far beyond basic communication and training, requiring dedicated resources and a structured approach that engages employees throughout the implementation journey. Organizations must recognize that real change begins at go-live, not ends there, with different individuals adapting at varying paces.The AI revolution has made HCM systems more user-friendly for practitioners, but its effectiveness depends entirely on data quality. Organizations must ensure clean, comprehensive data structures and move away from manual spreadsheet processes that undermine AI-driven insights. Regardless of company size, powerful tools are now accessible at various price points – the key is understanding your specific needs and selecting appropriate solutions.Perhaps most importantly, HR professionals must embrace this guiding principle: "AI isn't going to replace you, but if you're not using AI, you will be replaced by someone who is." With insufficient resources and poor planning ranking as the top reasons technology projects fail, strategic investment in consulting support often makes the difference between success and failure. Remember that purchasing and implementing technology is just the beginning – the real value emerges through effective utilization and maintenance over time.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

Each of my guests shared their unique HR journeys and how embracing data has been a game-changer in their careers.  We had a really honest conversation about how data literacy helps transform HR from being seen as just the "squishy people stuff" department to becoming a strategic business partner that directly impacts organizational success.

Implementing an effective DEI strategy relies on a deep understanding of your organization's current position, the required steps for progress, and a reliable method for ongoing DEI metrics measurement. In this HRchat episode, we discuss why the numbers should determine leadership direction. In light of recent changes, we also consider if now is the time to double down on demonstrating the need for the DEI data. Bill's guest this time is Kristen Boyle, VP of Marketing at PeopleInsight by HireRoad, a leading people analytics solution. Kristen, joined the PeopleInsight by HireRoad team in January 2024 after serving as VP of Marketing at PandoLogic, B2B marketing lead for Amazon Ads, and climbing the marketing ranks at Indeed and Nielsen during peak growth periods. Kristen is a marketing strategist with a passion for insights-driven storytelling and leads the mission of telling HireRoad's impressive story of growth and innovation.QuestionsPeopleInsight by HireRoad has seen big changes at the leadership level over the past 18 months. What are some of the challenges and opportunities that come with a fresh leadership team? You believe that "a data-driven strategy is no longer optional... Anyone who is in the throes of year-end reporting knows what I'm talking about". What did you mean by that?In light of recent political decisions and the broader pullback on DEI efforts across industries, the urgency to back DEI initiatives with data has perhaps never been more critical. Why is NOT collecting (specifically) DEI data no longer an option? Can you share some ways PeopleInsight provides the DEI data that can correctly inform business decisions?What are some of the primary challenges your team has seen HR professionals face when adopting data-driven decision-making (and how does PeopleInsight help address them)?Why did HireRoad decide to publish The State of People Analytics 2025, and what do you hope readers will take away from it?The ebook mentions that only 22% of organizations rate their people analytics as “very effective.” What advice from the ebook would you offer to companies aiming to build a more robust data-driven HR function?Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

Jensen shared his fascinating journey from his early days at Microsoft to co-founding Textio, where he and his team have spent a decade developing AI tools to transform the way businesses communicate. He highlighted the importance of AI not as a replacement for human jobs but as an empowering tool that can help individuals and organizations thrive. We talked about some of the misconceptions and fears surrounding AI, especially in HR, where many companies still struggle to distinguish between ethical, effective AI and "snake oil" solutions. Jensen stressed the need for organizations to evaluate AI's track record before implementing it and shared insights on how AI can positively impact company culture, making employees feel more engaged and productive. His thoughtful approach to leadership, particularly in the context of evolving workplace culture, underscored how AI, when applied with purpose, can enhance the human experience at work.

Send us a textIn this engaging podcast, Shelly Morales, founder and CEO of Morales HR, takes us on an inspiring journey—from her early days working at her family's hot dog stand, “Sandy's Happy Hot Dogs,” in the Bay Area to holding influential HR leadership roles in top tech companies and ultimately establishing her own HR consulting firm. Shelly shares how grit and determination fueled her path from a receptionist manually tracking resumes to impactful HR leadership positions at companies like LinkedIn, Quantenna, Atlassian, and Cadence Design Systems. Reflecting on her growth from an HR generalist to a strategic business partner, she discusses how her dedication to connecting people with meaningful work, improving employee experiences, and advocating for flexible employment practices has shaped her career.A pivotal chapter of her career was at Atlassian, where she saw firsthand the power of technology in building connectivity and engagement within remote teams. Atlassian's early commitment to remote work, long before the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighted the essential role of tools like Confluence, Slack, and the now-retired HipChat in fostering team cohesion and a strong company culture across continents and time zones. These tools not only allowed dispersed teams to stay connected in real time but also encouraged personal storytelling that bridged physical distances. The onset of the pandemic accelerated the acceptance of remote work and highlighted how blending work and personal life could enhance productivity and work satisfaction, shifting companies' focus from rigid office hours to outcome-based performance and helping establish a more human-centered work culture.Through Morales HR, Shelly aims to create a supportive network for professionals seeking roles that align with today's flexible and dynamic work environments—from remote and fractional engagements to gig work opportunities. Her firm connects members across industries and roles, from CHROs and CFOs to customer support, without relying on traditional job postings.Kindness is at the heart of Morales HR's intake process, where prospective members engage in a personal interview to ensure alignment with the company's values. Shelly firmly believes that kindness and inclusivity are essential yet often overlooked qualities for creating a supportive workplace. By working with companies that value these principles, Morales HR builds relationships that uphold professionalism and empathy, benefiting both employees and employers.Shelly also highlights Morales HR's role in the expanding gig economy, a trend she has championed for years. While not all early predictions around the gig economy and digital currency came to fruition, Shelly notes that the demand for flexible, project-based roles has steadily grown. Shelly Morales's story is one of resilience and transformation. Her career represents the evolution of HR from administrative support to a people-centered, strategic practice that embraces flexibility, kindness, and the power of technology. Her mission is clear: to build connections between employees and employers that prioritize human connection, work-life balance, and mutual respect, setting a foundation for a thriving future in HR.Learn more about Shelly:Shelly's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shellymorales/MoralesHR's webpage: https://moraleshr.com/
