HR "can't just be consulting" when it comes to workplace change; it needs to be leading, a people experience specialist says. Meanwhile employers should expect unfinished projects to be "the norm" at the end of the year, research shows.

When attempting to connect leaders, managers and employees to a culture change project, it's important for HR to use a different "love language" for each group, according to a respected advisor.

Failure rates are high when it comes to implementing AI in workplaces, but taking a wait-and-see approach is just as risky for employers, an innovation specialist says.

"Connecting the dots" between previously disjointed HR processes has helped an organisation save hundreds of days of administrative effort each year, and dramatically improve its employee experience.

Prioritising workplace culture during a merger has meant an otherwise "hectic" transformation timeframe became a "seamless" transition, a chief people officer says.

Employers that take the time to "onboard" their AI tools will be far more likely to realise productivity gains than those taking an approach of "just roll it out and see what happens", a business intelligence specialist says.
