📊 HR Trends: HR Leaders Worried That Skills Gap and AI Pace Outstrip Employee Readiness

A recent survey finds many HR and learning & development leaders are worried their organisations are falling behind in matching employees’ skills to fast-moving business demands. Only 10% of those surveyed feel fully confident their staff’s current skills align with what will be needed in coming years. Even though many companies have talent development programs, most report that these aren’t well aligned with company goals. There’s also concern that AI technology is advancing faster than their ability to train or prepare employees to use it effectively. Read more.

🎧 HR Insights

Mark Yusishen, a Canadian HR consultant, outlines how modern HR is evolving: leaders today are expected not only to manage operations but also to guard employee health and reinforce culture. The role of HR is becoming less about enforcing policies and more about cultivating environments where people feel supported, safe, and productive. Health (mental and physical), leadership style, and workplace culture are now key pillars of effective HR.

💡 HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day: Create a “Shadow Swap Day” where two employees from very different functions switch roles for a few hours. This builds empathy, exposes hidden pain points in each other’s workflows, and often surfaces ideas for collaboration or process improvement.

Trick of the Day: Implement a “HR Idea Sprint” once every quarter: small mixed‐teams (HR + non-HR) gather for a 90-minute sprint to generate one small actionable improvement (e.g. revamp onboarding email, tweak manager feedback tool, adjust meeting times) and prototype it immediately. It keeps innovation fast and participatory.

🧾 HR Case Files - Detroit Tigers Employees Accused of Misconduct

An investigation by The Athletic has uncovered misconduct allegations against at least eight men employed by the Detroit Tigers, Ilitch Sports and Entertainment, or a broadcast partner since 2023. The accused include four vice presidents and two senior employees, most of whom have since left the organization. Allegations range from sending explicit messages to female staff to undisclosed workplace relationships and physical assault. The investigation began after the unexpected resignation of former assistant general manager Sam Menzin, which followed an internal review of his behavior. The findings highlight ongoing cultural and safety concerns within the organization.

Key Takeaways

• Multiple allegations indicate systemic workplace safety and culture issues within the Tigers organization and Ilitch Sports and Entertainment.

• The case shows how internal investigations can uncover deeper misconduct patterns when leadership changes occur.

• Failure to disclose workplace relationships and mishandling of complaints contributed to reputational damage.

• High-profile organizations are under increasing scrutiny, and incidents like these emphasize the importance of transparent HR policies.
