Please join us for the next HR Lounge where we will explore what it means to be a Human-Centered Organization in the Age of AI.
Kylie Kusleika and Ellie Damashek, executive strategy and learning leads at Gensler Seattle, will share their latest findings on AI’s impact on HR roles of today and in the future.
Drawing from recent research on human-centered AI use, we will explore how AI is reshaping HR practice: where it’s breaking down silos, surfacing new skill and role gaps, and how some teams are already rethinking their org structures in response. We will also look ahead at which roles are shifting, where new ones are emerging, and what a well-structured HR org and workplace might look like in five years.
Key Takeaways:
- Redefine what “human-centered” means in practice. Move beyond understanding how AI drives efficiency with daily tasks, instead focusing on what that efficiency unlocks and enables for humans.
- Discover the benefits of making AI literacy a core HR capability. Understand AI’s potential to create new value at every level of the organization and what needs to change to operationalize that value.
- Gain sharper language, a useful framework, and concrete examples to bring back to your own teams.
