🎧 HR Insights

A study from CompTIA reveals that HR leaders are facing new challenges when it comes to building and validating employee skills in the age of AI. As automation reshapes tasks and responsibilities, the traditional ways of measuring skills are proving less effective. The report shows that while most HR teams recognize the importance of skill development, few have clear strategies for tracking how employee capabilities evolve alongside technology.

💡 HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day: Rotate HR staff into short-term project manager roles in other departments. Even a two-week stint helps HR professionals build empathy, understand real-time challenges, and see firsthand how policies play out on the ground.

Trick of the Day: Set up a quarterly “Walk in Their Shoes” day where HR team members trade roles with a non-HR employee for a few hours. It builds empathy, improves communication, and often surfaces process issues or policy blind spots that aren't visible from the HR desk.

🧾 HR Case Files - Revamping HR Infrastructure

After acquiring a competitor with multiple new plants, a large Canadian manufacturer struggled to manage payroll across provinces. The company’s existing homegrown payroll system was too limited and costly to maintain. To address the challenge, they turned to StarGarden. The consulting team started by reviewing the pay structures, union contracts, and benefit obligations for each plant. They created templates for payroll rules and processed each site one at a time, starting with the most complex.

Key Takeaways

• Post-acquisition integration needs more than just tech alignment—it requires coordination between teams.

• Streamlined systems reduce administrative strain and support quicker decision-making.

• Access to real-time data improves accountability and operational efficiency.

Resource of the Day

A study warns that relying on AI tools alone will not eliminate bias in the workplace. While AI can identify patterns and speed up hiring or promotion decisions, it also reflects the biases present in its training data. Researchers found that unchecked use of AI can lead to reinforcing stereotypes rather than removing them. For example, if past hiring data favored one demographic, the AI is likely to repeat that pattern unless the data is carefully cleaned and the algorithm closely monitored. The study recommends combining AI with strong human oversight and transparent review processes.

Event of the Day

The HRO Today Canadian Talent Management Summit is scheduled to bring together top HR executives, thought leaders, and service providers in a one-day event focused on recruitment, employee experience, and leadership development. The summit, happening on May 28-29, offers sessions on the latest talent acquisition strategies, retention trends, and HR technology.
