AI That Helps HR Go From Insight to Impact

AI can give HR leaders what they've always wanted: more time to focus on people, not paperwork.

In this episode, Karina Young chats with Anthony Onesto and Theresa Fesinstine about how people leaders can confidently adopt AI without losing the human side of leadership.

They discuss what most teams get wrong about AI, how to start small without fear, and why a curious mindset matters more than being tech-savvy. Anthony and Theresa speak candidly about the pressure to move quickly, the fear of falling behind, and the importance of HR leading the AI conversation rather than reacting to it.

This episode offers an honest look at how AI can support HR's core mission of helping people thrive in the workplace.
