💠 THE 5 HIRING TRENDS
1) AI BECOMES A COWORKER: AI is moving from a support tool into an active coworker that can screen, schedule, and optimize with minimal human input.
2) THE COLLAPSE OF PLATFORMS: Organizations are moving away from fragmented systems (5-7 different tools) toward consolidated, data-driven platforms.
3) REDEFINING QUALITY: Success is being measured by post-hire performance, engagement, and how an employee influences company culture.
4) FRICTIONLESS HIRING: Because expectations are high, slow processes lead to losing top talent and damaging your brand reputation.
5) ETHICAL FRAMEWORKS: As AI makes more decisions, HR must remain the foundational guide for fairness and ethics in our multicultural environment.

💠 THE 5 POST-HIRE TRENDS

6) MANAGER EFFECTIVENESS: Managers are becoming the #1 people risk due to change fatigue and complexity overload.
7) AI LITERACY: AI engagement is now a core capability expected from every employee in the business, regardless of their role.
8) OUTCOME-BASED WORK: Work is being redesigned around desired results and small task forces rather than rigid, traditional job roles.
9) MEASURING CHANGE FATIGUE: Fatigue is no longer anecdotal; it is now a measurable metric used to catch burnout before it impacts the business.
10) THE STRATEGIC UPGRADE: HR is evolving from a support function into an AI Era Strategist with the power to influence the organization's digital adoption.

Saison 3 · Épisode 69

lundi 8 décembre 2025 • Durée 33:31

Is Artificial Intelligence coming for your job, or is it the key to finally becoming a strategic business partner?

In this episode of Solving the People Puzzle, Francois sits down with Dr. Dieter Veldsman, Chief HR Scientist at the Academy to Innovate HR (AIHR), to debunk the myths surrounding AI in the workplace.

Dr. Dieter reveals why the narrative of "replacement" is wrong and why we are seeing a rise in "AI Regret"—where companies replace humans too quickly, only to realize the value of empathy and connection.

If you want to future-proof your career, master durable skills, and learn the 3 E's of implementing AI, this episode is your blueprint for thriving in the AI era.

🚀 Ready to amplify your hiring process? At Wamly, we believe in using technology to highlight human potential, not hide it. Our video interview software automates the screening process so you can spend more time on what matters—connecting with top talent.
