Hacking HR

💬 People rarely “stop trying” out of nowhere. They stop because something in the system taught them it wasn’t safe to keep giving. What’s powerful about this list is how familiar it feels. Not dramatic. Not extreme. Just the slow erosion that happens when effort turns invisible, roles expand without acknowledgment, or boundaries are treated like disloyalty. And the moment people realize the sacrifice isn’t worth it, the shift is quiet, but permanent. Which one do you think shows up the most in workplaces today? Or which one have you seen happen in real life? #HackingHR #WorkCulture #Leadership #PeopleAndCulture #HRInsights

AI won’t fix culture. Listening will. The companies that stay close to their people—really close—spot issues faster, build more trust, and create the right conditions for AI to become an enabler of business success. And Sasa Popovic, Co-founder of HeartCount, has seen this pattern over and over again. In his view, the companies that will thrive with AI in the coming months will combine three things: 1️⃣ Take care of their people — treat them as employees, not tools, while driving AI adoption and transformation. 2️⃣ Listen continuously — not once a year, but weekly. Know how teams feel and where the friction sits. 3️⃣ Experiment relentlessly — AI changes monthly. If you wait for the “perfect plan,” you’re already behind. The real risk is treating AI like a one-time project. Because, as Sasa puts it, “AI is a skill everyone needs, from HR to engineering to leadership. It’s a full-on change management.” So how do you lead this shift—where AI becomes an enabler, people feel cared for, and teams have the space to test, learn, and adapt? Join Sasha on Day 1 of the AI Experience Summit and bring your questions.

🌍📘 Working across regions comes with its own set of challenges: mobility decisions that affect families, compensation structures that don’t align with market norms, and cultural expectations that shift how leaders actually lead.

In 20 weeks, you move through the foundations of global people strategy: 🌐 How mobility ties into succession planning and long-term workforce goals 💬 How culture reshapes communication and leadership expectations 📊 How to use data without losing context or nuance 🏛️ How governance, ethics, and employment law shape the decisions HR can actually make 🧭 How organizational design, technology, and future-of-work shifts come together in practice 🧠 How to present workforce insights to senior leaders in ways that influence direction The case labs and advisory sessions add what most programs miss — space to test decisions with real scenarios and experienced HR leaders. This Mini Master is available to Premium+ members and culminates in a Capstone centered on a challenge from your own organization.

Elhannah Adekeye (nee Emadago), Global Cyber & Tech GRC Manager at Deloitte, will speak on the first panel of the AI Experience Summit next week. Here is the myth she wants to challenge. And looking ahead, here is her take for the coming year: “The companies that will thrive with AI in 2026 will be those that approach it with clarity, trust, and purpose. They will build responsible governance, invest in skills, and ensure their people understand how to use AI effectively. They will treat AI as a strategic capability rather than a quick tool. Organizations that fail to prepare, fail to train their teams, or leave AI ungoverned will struggle to keep pace.” Meet Elhannah at the AI Experience Summit next week. 📅 When: December 2, 7:00–7:40 AM 🎤 Panel: AI for Good, Growth and Governance: The CEO Agenda for an Ethical and Accountable Future With Robert Lee, Karen Oakey, Panos Siozos, Janine Yancey, and Matt Burns. The AI Experience Summit is free and fully virtual. Participants receive a certificate of completion. ✨ Join us!

🗳️ AI adoption is rising across every industry. However, most organizations admit they haven’t developed the skills, confidence, or internal fluency to use AI intentionally.

✨We notice the big wins because they’re loud. What we miss are the small shifts that actually change how a team feels to work in. This post is about those shifts. If any of these moments have happened around you lately, don’t overthink it. Just acknowledge it. Quietly. Directly. One-to-one. That’s how trust is built anyway. #HackingHR #HRCommunity #WorkLife #LeadershipInPractice #PeopleOps

🔥 We all recognize the moment: something feels off, but everyone keeps smiling like nothing’s happening. HR sees it early — the silence in meetings, the patterns in Slack, the conversations people don’t want to have. But conflict doesn’t disappear because we tiptoe around it. It gathers pressure. It learns the room. And eventually it finds its own way out, usually at the worst possible time. Healthy teams don’t avoid tension. They learn to name it early, hold space for it, and work through it before it hardens into something bigger. What’s one conflict your team finally addressed that changed everything? 👀 Tag someone who gets this. 🔁 Repost if this hits home. #HackingHR #Leadership #HRCommunity #WorkCulture #PeopleAndCulture #FutureOfWork

Not just in technology, but in ethics, communication, governance, culture, risk, enablement, and decision-making.
