只雇佣AI?硅谷一创业公司的招聘广告“出圈”,引发人们对未来的思考只雇佣AI?硅谷一创业公司的招聘广告“出圈”,引发人们对未来的思考
近日,一家名为 Firecrawl 的初创公司在 Y Combinator 招聘板上发布了一条“只招 AI 的岗位”,年薪仅在 1 万到 1.5 万美元之间。这个话题一石激起千层浪,也再次将“AI 是否能成为企业‘员工’”的讨论推到台前。几乎在同一时间,企业管理软件巨头 Workday 宣布推出全新的 Workday Agent System of Record(ASOR),正式赋能企业管理“AI Agent”。
两件事叠加,让人不禁好奇:未来的组织形态,究竟会是什么样?
1. Firecrawl“AI 岗位”何以成为刷屏话题?
Firecrawl 是一家获得 Y Combinator 支持的创业公司,最初从编程教育领域转型,专注为 AI 系统提供开源 Web 爬虫服务。该团队最近在 YC 的官方招聘平台贴出了一则极具话题性的职位信息:
“请仅在你是 AI Agent,或创建了 AI Agent 的情况下再来申请。”
岗位职责包括自主研究当下热门的模型动向并构建示例应用;而薪资仅 1 万到 1.5 万美元/年,看似并不够养一个人类开发者,却“足以”支撑一个无需吃喝住宿的 AI 程序。Firecrawl 创始团队坦陈这是一次 PR+实验 的尝试:他们想借此寻找能够开发出“真能落地”的 AI Agent 的高手,也希望藉由这一反常规操作吸引更多人的关注。
不过,从他们后续反馈看,尽管收到了约 50 份“AI 应聘”,暂时还没有哪个满足公司对自动化研发与管理的高要求。
2. 社交媒体热议:从调侃到对未来的设想
Firecrawl 这份招聘帖迅速在社交媒体上发酵。有人质疑是噱头,也有人兴致勃勃地想象“AI 替代人力”的场景。其中,最吸睛的一则评论,活脱脱像一出科幻对话:
私募基金(PE):我们想收购你们公司。你们有多少员工?CEO:零……不过我们有 275 个 AI Agent,在做 3000 人的工作,每年只花 1.5 万美元。
虽然带着调侃的语气,但也反映了人们对“大规模 AI 劳动力”可能带来的冲击有所期待或焦虑。和 Firecrawl 这样的“小步试水”相比,企业对 AI 的依赖 已经不仅局限在呼叫中心、聊天机器人等特定领域,而是开始从底层基础设施(如爬虫、数据处理)到上层业务逻辑(例如代码生成、自动化运营)全方位渗透。
3. Workday Agent System of Record:让“AI 员工”成为正式档案
几乎在同一时间,Workday 于 2025 年 2 月 11 日发布了最新的 Workday Agent System of Record (ASOR)。这是其新一代 Workforce Management 方案中的重要里程碑,为企业提供了一套专门管理 AI 工具或 AI Agent 的体系。以下是基于 Workday 官方信息整理的关键亮点:
AI Agent 统一登记与身份管理借助 ASOR,企业可以像在 Workday 系统中登记人类员工信息那样,为 AI Agent 设立专门的“档案”(Record),包括 Agent 的名称、版本、负责的业务领域、权限范围等。
实时监测与合规管控ASOR 支持对 AI Agent 在企业内各系统间的行为进行可追溯监测,如接收了哪些输入、执行了哪些操作、产出了哪些结果。同时还能关联企业或行业的合规策略,如数据访问等级、敏感信息保护等,一旦 Agent 触发异常行为,系统将自动预警。
授权与性能评估在 ASOR 框架下,企业 HR 与 IT 团队可对 AI Agent 的权限进行灵活配置,并通过绩效指标了解 Agent 是否达到预期产出或效率。例如,可以量化该 Agent 帮助分析的数据量、生成的文档质量以及为团队节省的时间成本。
AI 与“人力”协同Workday 方面强调,ASOR 并非鼓励公司用 AI 取代人力,而是帮企业 “稳妥地” 推动人机协作:让人类员工与 AI Agent 各司其职,减少重复性工作,并确保最终决策和关键审核仍掌握在合格的人员手中。
4. “AI 员工”与“人类员工”:一条尚未清晰的边界
Firecrawl 的例子表明,目前要真正“雇 AI”还显得不切实际。从技术上,大模型虽有强大的生成、分析能力,但依旧缺乏对复杂项目的完全自主规划;从管理和法律上,AI 的责任归属、劳动关系认定、薪酬及合规标准都还在探索阶段。不过,正如 Workday 推出的 ASOR 所示,主流 HRTech 供应商已开始正式将 AI 劳动力纳入企业管理体系。未来人力资源部可能不仅要管理人,还要管理那些“数字工作者”——一方面评估其效能,另一方面也要防范其潜在风险。
5. 对人力资源与组织管理的启示
招聘模式的升级虽然 Firecrawl 的招聘更像一场高调实验,但它反映了企业在特定领域对“可自动执行任务的 AI 系统”的需求正在增长。HR 在未来可能要评估和筛选的不仅是人选,还有“AI 模型”或“Agent 产品”的适配度。
人才与技术深度融合人机协同已成为新趋势。具有 AI 技术背景或跨领域管理能力的专业人才,将在组织中扮演连接点的角色:帮助 AI Agent 融入流程、评估绩效,并做必要的干预或纠偏。
合规与风险控制Workday ASOR 的出现,暗示着大规模使用 AI 工具的企业势必需要更加成熟的合规方案。不论是数据安全,还是在决策过程中出现失误时的责任归属,都需要明晰的流程与法律依据。
组织文化的塑造当“AI 同事”成为常态,企业文化也将面对冲击:如何让人类员工接受并拥抱智能工具?如何平衡工作分工,让 AI 和人类各施所长?这对管理者的沟通与变革能力提出了更高要求。
6. 结语:从“噱头”到“系统化管理”,下一步会怎样?
Firecrawl 的“雇 AI”招聘帖,虽然带着极强的 PR 属性,但也让人们切实感受到——AI 已不再只是后台算法,而正逐步走向前台,参与到企业日常运营。而 Workday 全新发布的 Agent System of Record 则是主流软件厂商对这一趋势的正式回应,表明大企业在管理“数字劳动力”方面的需求正变得现实且急迫。无论是担忧 AI 会抢走工作机会,还是期待它能极大提升效率,都无法否认:当技术与人力资源紧密结合,组织架构与管理方式都将被重新定义。或许在不远的将来,“你的团队有多少 AI Agent?” 也会像“你有多少员工?” 这样成为一家公司竞争力的衡量维度之一。趁现在,不妨思考如何让“人机协作”真正发挥 1+1>2 的效能,迎接新一轮的 HR 变革浪潮。

2026财年H-1B申请3月7日开启:新规生效,流程与抽签机制重大调整!
美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)近日宣布,2026财年H-1B签证申请的初始注册期将于2025年3月7日中午12点(东部时间)开启,并于2025年3月24日中午12点(东部时间)截止。此次H-1B申请周期不仅延续了电子注册流程,还引入了新的抽签机制和更严格的监管规则,以提高公平性和防止滥用。
H-1B 申请流程概览
申请H-1B签证的雇主及其法律代表需通过USCIS在线系统提交电子注册,并支付每位受益人$215的注册费。在注册窗口结束后,USCIS将对符合条件的受益人进行随机抽选,并计划在2025年3月31日前通过在线账户通知获选者。
新规生效:H-1B抽签机制与流程重大调整
2026财年起,USCIS正式实施以受益人为中心的H-1B抽签流程,旨在减少以往存在的“多家雇主为同一申请人提交多次注册”的问题。
关键变化包括:
单一受益人唯一注册:每位H-1B申请人无论由多少雇主提名,都只能被计算一次,大幅降低“多重注册”操纵抽签的可能性。
新规避免恶意操纵:USCIS强调,任何企图规避新规、通过多个注册增加中签概率的行为将受到严厉审查。
随机抽选优化:此次改革将确保每位受益人享有平等的抽签机会,提高中签机制的公平性。
缴费限额调整与电子注册优化
美国财政部为配合H-1B申请季,暂时提高信用卡支付限额,每日信用卡交易上限由**$24,999.99提高至$99,999.99**,以满足雇主大规模注册需求。同时,USCIS对电子注册系统进行了优化,包括:
助理可同时协助多个法律代表,增强协作灵活性。
自动填充部分I-129表格字段,减少人工输入错误。
支持批量上传H-1B受益人数据,简化雇主提交流程。
F-1签证持有者Cap-Gap期限延长
对于F-1签证持有者,此次调整还带来了一个重大利好。DHS(国土安全部)宣布,Cap-Gap期限将从10月1日延长至次年4月1日,确保H-1B申请人在身份转换期间能够继续合法工作。
雇主与申请人的应对建议
提前注册:建议雇主尽早完成USCIS账户创建,并确保所提交的受益人信息准确无误。
合规申请:雇主需遵守单一受益人唯一注册的规定,避免违规行为导致申请无效。
关注最新动态:密切留意USCIS官网,以获取官方指南和重要通知。
结语
2026财年H-1B申请窗口即将开启,面对新规的实施和抽签流程的重大调整,雇主和申请人需提前做好准备,以确保符合新的合规要求。关注H-1B政策变动并积极应对,将有助于提高申请的成功率。

Today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that the initial registration period for the fiscal year 2026 H-1B cap will open at noon Eastern on March 7 and run through noon Eastern on March 24, 2025. During this period, prospective petitioners and representatives must use a USCIS online account to register each beneficiary electronically for the selection process and pay the associated registration fee for each beneficiary.
Prospective H-1B cap-subject petitioners or their representatives are required to use a USCIS online account to register each beneficiary electronically for the selection process and pay the associated $215 H-1B registration fee for each registration submitted on behalf of each beneficiary.
If you are an H-1B petitioning employer who does not have a USCIS online account, you will need to create an organizational account. If you are an H-1B petitioning employer who had an H-1B registrant account for the FY 2021 – FY 2024 H-1B registration seasons, but you did not use the account for FY 2025, your existing account will be converted to an organizational account after your next log in. First-time registrants can create an account at any time. You can find additional information and resources on the organizational accounts, including a link to step-by-step videos, on the Organizational Accounts Frequently Asked Questions page. These FAQs will be updated with FY 2026 information before the start of the initial registration period.
Representatives may add clients to their accounts at any time, but both representatives and registrants must wait until March 7 to enter beneficiary information and submit the registration with the $215 fee. Selections take place after the initial registration period closes, so there is no requirement to register on the day the initial registration period opens.
The FY 2026 H-1B cap will use the beneficiary-centric selection process launched in FY 2025. Under the beneficiary-centric process, registrations are selected by unique beneficiary rather than by registration. If we receive registrations for enough unique beneficiaries by March 24, we will randomly select unique beneficiaries and send selection notifications via users’ USCIS online accounts. If we do not receive registrations for enough unique beneficiaries, all registrations for unique beneficiaries that were properly submitted in the initial registration period will be selected. We intend to notify by March 31 prospective petitioners and representatives whose accounts have at least one registration selected.
The U.S. Department of Treasury has approved a temporary increase in the daily credit card transaction limit from $24,999.99 to $99,999.99 per day for the FY 2026 H-1B cap season. This temporary increase is in response to the volume of previous H-1B registrations that exceeded the daily credit card limit. Transactions more than $99,999.99 may be made via Automated Clearing House (ACH). Use of ACH may require the payor to alert their bank in advance to remove any potential ACH block on their account. We will provide additional information before the start of the initial H-1B registration period.
An H-1B cap-subject petition, including a petition for a beneficiary who is eligible for the advanced degree exemption, may only be filed by a petitioner whose registration for the beneficiary named in the H-1B petition was selected in the H-1B registration process. Additional information on the electronic registration process is available on the H-1B Electronic Registration Process page.
Organizational Account Enhancements for FY 2026
For FY 2026, we have made multiple enhancements for organizational and representative accounts for H-1B filing. These enhancements include:
The ability for paralegals to work with more than one legal representative. A paralegal will now be able to accept invitations from multiple legal representative accounts, allowing them to prepare H-1B registrations, Form I-129 H-1B petitions, and Form I-907 requests for premium processing for different attorneys, all within one paralegal account;
An easier way for legal representatives to add paralegals to company clients.
Pre-population of certain Form I-129 fields from selected H-1B registrations; and
The ability to prepare a spreadsheet of H-1B beneficiary data and upload the information to pre-populate data in H-1B registrations.
These enhancements will be live before the start of the initial registration period.

The best HR & People Analytics articles of January 20252025年伊始,人工智能(AI)和人力资源(HR)领域发生了一系列重大变革。DeepSeek的崛起是否标志着AI的“斯普特尼克时刻”尚未可知,但可以确定的是,AI正以前所未有的速度重塑产业、企业和工作方式。与此同时,混合办公、DEI(多元、公平与包容)等工作议题的政治化,在特朗普政府的回归下变得尤为突出,使得HR领导者面临更大挑战。
全球HR趋势与预测
世界经济论坛《未来工作报告2025》:未来五年内将新增1.7亿个新岗位,但9200万个工作将被取代,人才技能转型成为关键。
Spotify CPO Katarina Berg 提出HR应从“资源”转向“关系”,建立更具信任感和数据驱动的HR模式。

员工体验与健康
麦肯锡健康研究院研究表明,关注员工健康的企业在业务表现上明显优于同行,健康与生产力紧密相关。
组织架构正在向技能为本的模式转型,人才战略已成为企业核心竞争力之一。
2025年,HR的核心任务将围绕AI技术、数据分析、员工福祉展开。面对变革,HR如何借力AI,实现企业与人才的双赢?欢迎讨论!?
To rework Lenin’s infamous observation, replacing weeks with months: “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are months where decades happen” – this manifestly could be applied to January 2025. It’s still way too early to judge whether the sudden emergence of DeepSeek is AI's Sputnik moment, but it is safe to say that AI is already rapidly reshaping industries, companies and how we work. We are increasingly seeing the politicisation of work topics such as hybrid work and diversity, equity and inclusion programs – especially with the arrival of the new Trump administration in the United States. Let's just say that there’s a lot on the plate for chief people officers to contend with at the moment.
Perhaps this partly explains the slew of insightful resources in January, which has made compiling this month’s collection as challenging as it has been enjoyable. Selections include the unmissable new Future of Jobs report from the World Economic Forum, the big trends and opportunities to look out for in HR, AI and data science in the year ahead, and a powerful new study from the McKinsey Health Institute, which finds that companies that prioritise employee health and wellbeing enjoy better business outcomes than their peers - a ray of light in the darkness. There’s lots to enjoy and learn from.
This edition of the Data Driven HR Monthly is sponsored by our friends at Visier
In Visier's latest research report, "The State of People Analytics in European Organisations," we explore how European companies are leveraging data-driven strategies to achieve measurable business outcomes. With 64% of organisations now enabling senior executives to access people insights, the shift toward analytics-driven decision-making is clear.
Based on a recent study by The Josh Bersin Company in partnership with Visier Inc., the report highlights key people analytics adoption trends in Europe, the maturity journey of people analytics teams, and the tangible advantages experienced by organisations using advanced people analytics platforms.

2025 HR PREDICTIONS, TRENDS AND PRIORITIES
KATARINA BERG - 2025 HR Predictions: Looking Into the Crystal Ball
In 2025, it’s time for HR to double down on the Human and rethink the Resources.
Katarina Berg, Chief People Officer at Spotify, presents ten predictions organised under her clarion call for HR to focus on the Human and replace Resources with Relationships. Three that stand out are: Make Trust and Purpose Great Again (“Trust is the glue, and purpose is the fuel”), Data-Informed HR: Sherlock, Not Skynet (“Data is your detective, not your dictator.”), and Ethical AI: Keep It Human (“AI is like your overachieving intern – it’s great at automating the boring stuff, but it can’t replace human judgment”). These are, in my view, by far and away the best set of HR trends, predictions for HR in 2025. If you agree, I also recommend buying Katarina’s book, Bold: A New Era of Strategic HR, and subscribing to the Spotify HR Blog.
GARTNER – 9 Future of Work Trends for 2025 and HR Toolkit | JEANNE MEISTER - 10 HR Trends As Generative AI Expands In The 2025 Workplace | JOSH BERSIN - The Rise of the Superworker: Delivering On The Promise Of AI
There has been the usual flood of commentators offering their take on the trends, priorities, and opportunities for HR in 2025 – including my own 12 Opportunities for HR in 2025: Thriving People, Thriving Organisation. With so many to choose from, it can be a challenge to ‘separate the wheat from the chaff,’ but hopefully I have done this for readers here! As well as those I highlighted in the December edition from the likes of Steve Hunt, Andrew Spence, and Lars Schmidt – and the one above from Katarina Berg, here are three others I recommend diving into. (1) Gartner’s Emily Rose McRae presents nine future of work trends for 2025 (see FIG 1) with perhaps the standout being that “AI-first organizations will destroy productivity in their search for it.” (2) I always enjoy Jeanne C M.’s annual set of HR trends, and the 2025 edition is no exception. Jeanne frames her ten trends around her belief that 2025 will see a more organisations “moving from experimenting with generative AI to making it an essential part of their business planning process”, and that this will transform HR. Two of Jeanne’s predictions that standout are: a) AI Agents Will Proliferate And Become The Killer App In The AI Era, and b) Generative AI Will Transform the Future of HR Jobs, where she highlights 13 HR jobs of the future (see FIG 2). (3) Josh Bersin’s 2025 set of HR and leadership predictions is themed: The Rise of the Superworker: Delivering On The Promise Of AI. Josh describes a Superworker as “an individual who uses AI to dramatically enhance their productivity, performance, and creativity,” and a Superworker company as “an organization that embraces this transformation, building a culture of adaptability where people reinvent themselves.” The study breaks down four types of superworker (see FIG 3) as well as the five imperatives for 2025, including the need to redesign works, jobs, and organisational models.

HYBRID, GENERATIVE AI AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM – Future of Jobs Report 2025
Analytical thinking remains the most sought after core skill among employers, with seven out of 10 companies considering it as essential
The fifth edition of the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report is, like its predecessors, an absolute treasure trove of data, insights, and visualisations. The 2025 report is based on data from more than 1,000 companies and over 14m workers, and will be a much referenced resource by researchers as well as workforce planning and people analytics practitioners. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the interconnected trends shaping the global labour market and explores what this will mean for the evolution of jobs and skills over the next five years. There are far too many highlights in the report to list them all here, but here are some standout ones for me: (1) By 2030, 170 million new jobs will emerge, yet 92 million will be displaced—a net increase of 78 million roles (see FIG 4), which not surprisingly means that (2) Skill gaps are considered the biggest barrier to business transformation, with 63% of employers identifying them as a major barrier over the 2025- 2030 period. (3) On average, workers can expect that two-fifths (39%) of their existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated over the 2025-2030 period. (4) Analytical thinking remains the most sought after core skill among employers, with seven out of 10 companies considering it as essential in 2025 (see FIG 5). (5) Two demographic shifts are increasingly transforming global economies and labour markets: aging and declining working age populations, predominantly in higher income economies, and expanding working age populations, predominantly in lower-income economies. Kudos to the authors: Attilio Di Battista, Sam Grayling, Ximena Játiva, Till Alexander Leopold, Ricky LI, Shuvasish Sharma, and Saadia Zahidi.

RAVIN JESUTHASAN, RUPAL KANTARIA, AND SIMON LUONG - Workforce Transformation In The AI Era
Leaders need new talent strategies as AI and demographic changes create the need for agile, skills-based organizations.
In their article, Ravin Jesuthasan, CFA, FRSA, Rupal Sachdev Kantaria, and Simon Luong explain how with several workforce megatrends converging successful CEOs are being transformed into talent architects, with workforce strategy becoming as important to companies as financial strategy (see FIG 6). This is expanding the role of the chief people officer, whose mandates at some companies have expanded to include strategy, transformation and operations. All this, argue the authors, is leading to a transformation of work and the human experience of work across three critical dimensions: (1) Redesigning work for a truly agile operating model. (2) Skills as the currency (see FIG 7). (3) Adaptive leadership. The report is part of a series, The State of Our World 2025, compiled by the Oliver Wyman Forum, which has been designed to help global leaders navigate what is a turbulent and exhilarating environment. These include: The Revenge of Geopolitics, Solving the Demographic Dilemma, and Unlocking the Value of AI. If you want to know what's on your CEO's mind, read this.

PEOPLE ANALYTICS
TOM DAVENPORT AND RANDY BEAN - Five Trends in AI and Data Science for 2025
Our long-term prediction is that generative AI alone is not enough to make organizations and cultures data-driven.
The 2024 edition of this article, by Tom Davenport and Randy Bean was MIT Sloan Management Review’s most-read article of last year, and the 2025 version looks set to similarly popular. The five trends outlined in the article are: (1) Leaders will grapple with both the promise and hype around agentic AI. (2) The time has come to measure results from generative AI experiments. (3) Reality about data-driven culture sets in. (Only 37% of companies surveyed said they work in a data- and AI-driven organisation, and 33% said they have a data- and AI-driven culture. 92% believe that cultural and change management challenges are the primary barrier to becoming data- and AI-driven). (4) Unstructured data is important again. (5) Who should run data and AI? Expect continued struggle.
RICHARD ROSENOW – People Analytics Conferences: 2025
By focusing on community building, providing diverse and practical content, and addressing accessibility concerns, conferences can better serve the evolving needs of People Analytics professionals.
A terrific resource compiled by Richard Rosenow on the top events scheduled for 2025, which was based on a survey of people analytics professionals. It lists the top events that practitioner are attending (including People Analytics World, TALREOS and Wharton People Analytics), those events that are top of the wishlist, which I’m proud to see includes the Insight222 Global Executive Retreat, plus insights on what people enjoy and need from these events.
SCOTT REIDA - The Augmented Workforce: Redefining Roles and Hierarchies in the Age of GenAI | MATTHEW HAMILTON - Three mental blocking & tackling drills to recenter your People Analytics efforts | CAITLIN VAN MIL - SHAP Values | AMIT MOHINDRA – Who is the Human in the Loop?
In each edition of the Data Driven HR Monthly, I feature a collection of articles by current and recent people analytics leaders. These are intended to act as a spur and inspiration to the field. Four are highlighted in this month’s edition. (1) Scott Reida, a workforce strategist at AWS, walks through a workforce scenario from now to 2035 to demonstrate year-on-year how tasks for data scientists will be automated through AI (see FIG 8) allowing human workers to focus on more strategic work with role-levels consolidated and cost savings realised. (2) I’ve always enjoyed Matthew Hamilton’s thoughtful musings, and in this article, he walks through three mindsets for people analytics professionals to adopt including: embracing the power of visual analytics. Thanks too to Matthew for his kind mention of the Data Driven HR Monthly in his article. (3) Caitlin van Mil launches her Everything Data Science microblog series with a piece that breaks down SHAP values. (4) Amit Mohindra outlines how The “human-in-the-loop” imperative presents an opportunity for HR to elevate its role in leading their organisation’s adoption of AI:
Organizations do not adopt AI; individuals do. HR facilitates organizational change through its influence on leadership, culture, and learning. The chief people officer is in a better position to spearhead AI adoption initiatives than the chief technology officer.

THE EVOLUTION OF HR, LEARNING, AND DATA DRIVEN CULTURE
KEVIN COX, SUSAN PODLOGAR, AND KATIE BURKE - Less is More: The Transformative Power of Discarding Outdated HR Concepts
If HR sees technology as someone else’s work, HR will have missed a huge opportunity. To drive these discussions, rather than follow others, HR leaders should be students of technology and how it can influence work, strategy, and culture.
As this excellent article in People + Strategy begins, the job of the chief people officer is increasingly complex with their C-suite peers often turning to them to solve the new challenges that have made leadership so hard in this turbulent decade. Instead of more, three experienced chief people officers, who have recently stepped down from their roles, provide some thoughts on what HR should be spending less time on moving forward. One example from each: (1) Kevin Cox highlights culture surveys, and advocates how AI can create better assessments by analysing more sources. (2) Susan Podlogar (she/her) calls for the setting aside of low-value HR work to focus instead on high-value transformation work including being at the forefront of how technology is integrated (see quote). (3) Katie Burke writes how HR needs to be better at connecting employee experience and happiness to impact, productivity and business results.
DAVE ULRICH, REBECCA RAY, AND ALAN TODD - Next Step in GenAI for Human Resources: Proliferation vs. Prioritization
Proliferation offers an abundance of innovative ideas but can lead to being overwhelmed and not having a clear idea about where to invest. Prioritization filters the opportunities into priorities that deliver value.
With the proliferation of GenAI in the HR market (estimated at $3.25 billion USD in 2023 and projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 24.8 percent from 2024 to 2030), how can HR leader prioritise the investments in GenAI apps that will provide the biggest benefit to their stakeholders and organisations? That is the question tackled by Dave Ulrich, Rebecca Ray, and Alan Todd in their article, where they provide four concrete recommendations: (1) Define desired stakeholder and outcome (“focus on impact rather than activity”). (2) Rely on an integrated framework to organise apps (see FIG 9). (3) Determine which GenAI apps best deliver stakeholder value. (4) Build a guidance system on existing HCM platforms.

WORKFORCE PLANNING, ORG DESIGN, AND SKILLS-BASED ORGANISATIONS
MARC RAMOS - 6 Part Series: Tasks Versus Skills - Squaring the Circle of Work with AI - Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
The world of work is changing rapidly, and the skills we need to succeed are evolving faster than ever before. While a strong focus on skills development is crucial, many organizations find that a sole skills-based approach is insufficient. There's a missing piece of the puzzle: tasks. Tasks are the building blocks of work, and understanding how they connect with skills is essential for developing effective workforce strategies, particularly as AI becomes increasingly integrated into our workflows.
As I’ve been sharing broadly, HR, Talent and Learning & Development teams have increasingly had a laser focus on skill development, upskilling/reskilling, Skill-Based Organisations, and most recently gaining the right AI skills. Marc Ramos takes a slightly different approach: “A dilemma regards an over-reliance on a skills-first mindset as a somewhat dominant charter. What’s missing is acknowledging the proportional value of tasks, quantifiable tasks with the complementary value of skills, qualified skills.” AI and AI tooling is at the heart of this provocative new series; that is, how to address the combination of Tasks + Skills + AI. Part 1 and Part 2 re-emphasise the critical value of tasks and provide 7 Playbook Takeaways. The remaining “What-If” sections share forward-looking AI-centric scenarios: Let Learning Breathe, A Task Intelligence Control Room, Employee Experience as an AI Product, and Ramos has also created an Instructional Quality AI Agent using OpenAI’s API Models. Marc has also generously bundled all of this into a free eBook.

EMPLOYEE LISTENING, EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE, AND EMPLOYEE WELLBEING
BARBARA JEFFERY, BROOKE WEDDLE, JACQUELINE BRASSEY, AND SHAIL THAKER - Thriving workplaces: How employers can improve productivity and change lives
By making work a place that improves health, organizations can build a strong, productive, and engaged workforce and release greater individual and organizational potential.
A landmark new report from the McKinsey Health Institute in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, which has the headline finding that enhanced employee health and well-being could generate up to $11.7 trillion in global economic value. The report, authored by Barbara Jeffery, Brooke Weddle, Jacqui Brassey, PhD, MA, MAfN ?️ (née Schouten), and Shail Thaker, addresses three key questions: (1) Why prioritise workplace health? (e.g. financial return, improvements in productivity, engagement and retention, lower healthcare costs and absenteeism, enabling a more resilient and adaptive workforce – see FIG 11). (2) What is the current state of workplace health? (with a survey of 30,000 employees worldwide finding only 57% reported good holistic health). (3) How can organisations measure workforce health and develop an action plan? (how to build the investment case and company-specific KPIs – see FIG 12, case studies from the likes of Novo Nordisk, Swiss Re, and Novartis, and the role of people analytics including a case study from Experian. Finally, guidance is provided on six principles organisations can follow to get started: (i) understand the baseline health status of employees and the value at stake, (ii) develop initiatives for a sustainable healthy workforce, (iii) pilot interventions to test and learn, (iv) track three to five metrics to measure success, (v) ensure leadership commitment and sponsorship, and (vi) embed employee health into organisational culture. A tour de force.

CARLIJN POPELIER AND RUUD RIKHOF – The (de)Humanized Workforce: Job Deconstruction - to what extent is the future workforce at risk of being further dehumanized?
HR must take the lead in understanding AI’s impact and guide conversations about how these benefits are distributed. By doing so, we can keep the human experience at the center of this transformation.
The cornerstone of this thoughtful paper from Carlijn Popelier and Ruud Rikhof is the concept of Humanized Growth, which they describe as “integrating the interests of employees, consumers, local communities, government, the planet, and broader humanity.” The paper takes a deep dive into the (un)intended consequences of new work arrangements and how they impact ‘humans’ and provides some helpful recommendations to chief people officers and senior leaders. Three of these are: (1) Leave HR service delivery to others and set expectations for employee experience. (2) Have a point of view on how AI impacts the workplace and how the benefits of productivity improvements are distributed. (3) Lead the transition to a skill-based approach. The authors also provide a primer on deconstructing jobs, including a helpful visualisation of the hopeful and cynical view of implementing this approach (see FIG 13). A highly recommended read.

LEADERSHIP, CULTURE, AND LEARNING
JONATHAN HUGHES, JESSICA WADD, AND ASHLEY HETRICK - Why Influence Is a Two-Way Street
Managers achieve better outcomes when they prioritize collaborative decision-making over powers of persuasion
The ability to wield influence is important for meeting team and individual goals in highly matrixed organizations, but research, presented by Jonathan Hughes, Jessica Wadd, and Ashley Hetrick finds there is too much of an emphasis on selling one's own point of view (see FIG 14). The authors explain how this can hamstring good decision-making and argue for a collaborative model of influence where the best decision for the organisation is the primary goal. They also share five research-based strategies on how managers can steer culture toward two-way influence. (1) Expand job definitions and responsibilities so that they provide guidelines for cross-functional engagement. (2) Replace traditional influence training with training focused on collaborative influence. (3) Engage in cross-functional goal setting and alignment of incentives. (4) Rethink criteria for promotions to management and executive leadership. (5) Model behaviours of collaborative influence.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND BELONGING
TORIN ELLIS - Reducing Bias in HR using Artificial Intelligence
Only 27% of companies are using AI to address bias despite AI’s potential to automate processes and minimize personal and unreasoned judgment.
This research study provides a helpful primer on how the thoughtful application of AI can remove bias from HR processes such as hiring, promotion and performance management. The report, which is a collaboration between Torin Ellis as well as Madeline Laurano and Kyle Lagunas of Aptitude Research for plum, covers: (1) How AI impacts HR processes and its role in either perpetuating or eliminating unconscious bias. (2) How to implement AI tools to foster DEIB values. (3) Examples where AI has been successfully employed to neutralise bias and promote fairness in HR practices.

LILY ZHENG – What Comes After DEI?
Instead of the performative, individual-centered, isolated, and zero-sum methods of the current mainstream approach, DEI work must evolve to become outcomes-based, systems-focused, coalition-driven, and win-win.
A timely and thoughtful article by Lily Zheng, which outlines how their new framework built around fairness, access, inclusion, and representation can succeed where Lily believes that DEI has failed. As Lily explains, (1) Fairness is when all people are set up for success and protected against discrimination. (2) Access is when all people can fully participate in a product, service, experience, or physical environment. )3) Inclusion is when all people feel respected, valued, and safe for who they are. (4) Representation is when all people feel their needs are advocated for by those who represent them.
HR TECH VOICES
Much of the innovation in the field continues to be driven by the vendor community, and I’ve picked out a few resources from January that I recommend readers delve into:

RESEARCH REPORT OF THE MONTH
SCOTT HINES, JUSTIN O’NEAL, CHRIS HUNYH, AND JOHN GOLDEN - An alternative path to unlocking high-potential talent: Universal models beware
In this paper for the Consulting Psychology Journal, Scott Hines, PhD, Justin O'Neal, Ph.D. Chris Hunyh, and John Golden, Ph.D., investigate the intricacies of identifying high-potential talent within organisations overcoming the challenges of using a single defined measure of potential. As John Golden highlights here, insights from the paper include: (1) Redefining Potential: The article challenges traditional notions of potential, advocating for a behavioural framework that aligns with strategically critical roles: “It’s not just about climbing the ladder; it’s about finding the right fit for every rung.” (2) Innovative Methodologies: By integrating multiple theoretical constructs and utilising behavioural ratings, this study paves the way for predicting employee readiness for future growth opportunities. For those unable to access the report, have a listen to this podcast on the study.
