CHRO Boardroom: The Human Signal: Recognition in the Age of AI

AI is changing not just how work gets done, but what organizations need from their people. As tasks become automated, leaders must reinforce the human behaviors that drive success. AWI research shows only 25% of employees feel appreciated & 92% lack clarity on expectations. This session explores how meaningful recognition strengthens judgment, creativity, collaboration, and adaptability, helping organizations accelerate AI adoption & lasting change.
