Last week, we held our bi-monthly Collaborative Cafe. The topic? AI and the Future of HR. The impact of AI on HR can't be overstated, but there's a lot to unpack with.

So in this newsletter, we share key reads for HR leaders and professionals looking to cut through the hype and better understand this rapidly evolving technology.
