More Than Policies: HR as the Powerhouse for People, Progress, and AI

HR isn’t just about policies anymore. It’s the engine behind your company’s people, progress, and yes — even AI adoption.

This week on the Cerius Leadership podcast, we spotlight how HR leaders are becoming strategic powerhouses in driving transformation across the business. We cover:


- Why people are still the ultimate differentiator
- HR non-negotiables every business needs
- Talent readiness assessments — are your people prepared for what’s next?
- How to reconcile shifting values and culture
- Communication loops that build real trust
- Embedding AI into the organization — and why HR should lead the way


Donna’s global leadership experience spans HR & Tech – from VC backed start-ups to global enterprises which gives me a unique blend of skills & insights to help companies accelerate growth.

If you want to future-proof your workforce and lead with intentionality, this episode is your blueprint.
