  • AI Meets Empathy: Enhancing Frontline Management

    AI Meets Empathy: Enhancing Frontline Management
    Feb 14 2026
    Summary In this episode of Drive Through HR, host Michael VanDervort welcomes Justin Lassard-Wajcer, a neuroscientist and CEO of Nurau, an AI-driven platform/app that enhances workplace decision-making for frontline managers. Justin shares his journey from neuroscience to applying cognitive science in real-world work environments, emphasizing the importance of bridging the gap between theory and practice. He discusses how Nurau aims to improve employee relations and safety by providing managers with real-time support, allowing them to make informed decisions during shifts rather than after the fact. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by frontline managers, particularly in high-stress industries like retail and logistics. Justin explains how Nurau's technology helps managers log incidents and receive guidance on handling various situations, thereby reducing cognitive load and improving overall workplace dynamics. The episode also touches on the ethical considerations of AI in HR, including the importance of maintaining human judgment and empathy in decision-making processes. Justin concludes by highlighting Nurau's potential to transform the employee experience and enhance managerial effectiveness. Takeaways Bridging the gap between neuroscience and workplace application is crucial. AI should assist, not replace human judgment in HR decisions. Frontline managers are often under-supported and overburdened with cognitive load. Real-time decision-making tools can significantly improve workplace dynamics. Understanding near misses is key to preventing workplace incidents.

  • The Legal Landscape of HR 2026 with Jon Hyman

    The Legal Landscape of HR 2026 with Jon Hyman
    Jan 30 2026
    Episode Summary: In this episode of DriveThruHR, hosts Michael VanDervort and Robin Schooling welcome back Jon Hyman, an employment and labor law practitioner with nearly 30 years of experience. The conversation kicks off with a light-hearted introduction, in which Jon shares insights into his law practice, particularly his work with small- and mid-sized businesses and his niche representation of craft breweries. As the discussion progresses, the trio delves into the evolving landscape of HR and employment law under the new administration, focusing on the implications of recent executive orders and the changing definitions surrounding discrimination and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Jon emphasizes the importance of filtering out the noise from the EEOC and maintaining established legal practices, regardless of political shifts. The conversation then shifts to workplace retaliation, where John provides practical advice for employers on navigating claims and maintaining proper documentation. We also touch on the role of AI in HR, discussing its potential benefits and challenges, and the necessity for businesses to adapt their policies to keep pace with technological advancements. The episode wraps up with a discussion of the current state of the National Labor Relations Board and the implications of its political composition for labor relations, highlighting the need for stability in workplace policies amid ongoing changes. Takeaways: The law hasn't changed; the practices that were legal before are still legal. Focus on the damage to the business for social media posts; if it doesn't harm, let it go. Document everything contemporaneously; it's crucial for defending claims. AI is still in its alpha phase; we need to adapt our policies.
