AWS HR Director: ‘Want a learning culture? Be curious, clean your data and acknowledge anxiety’

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 10:55:55 GMT

Recorded live at UNLEASH World 2023 in Paris, hear Jake Shannon speak to UNLEASH Editor Nima Sherpa Green.

Generative AI, learning culture and adapting to employee expectations: this trio of pillars will be the foundation on which top businesses build as they face the future.

So, how should C-suite and HR leadership regard them - and what should you prioritize first?

"I would just say when it comes to generative AI, don't panic.

"Calm folks down around the anxiety that comes up," says Shannon.

He adds:

"Figure out the education piece of this. What do we need to learn? What do we need to not learn or focus on instead?

"And then - more than anything else - just get started."

How do you get started? And how do you keep iterating with the data your technology generates to foster the best culture?

SAP SuccessFactors CRO: 'Here's how to get started if you want to embrace AI'

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 13:59:09 GMT

Recorded live at UNLEASH World 2023 in Paris, hear Maryann Abbajay speak to UNLEASH Editor Nima Sherpa Green live on Stage 1.

What are we discussing? 2023's topic of the year: generative AI.

"AI is going to change thousands of jobs. This year, it's a huge part of what we're talking about for customers."

Critical mass for embracing AI may have been reached this year for many businesses, but how do you get started to a) address your employees' perspectives as a leader and b) be competitive in your market?

"Having a foundation in place before you get started is pretty important," says Abbajay.

"To try and just pull in the bells and whistles without having your data foundation there, it's probably not going to give you the results that you want. That's number one.

"Then, educating your employee and HR base is critical, to make sure people aren't anxious."
