Keeping people at the center.
Episode 105 of The HR Morning Show, hosted by Danielle Farage, Serge Boudreau and Mike Peditto, looked at how AI is reshaping HR, recruiting and the future of work, starting from a McKinsey projection that roughly two-thirds of today’s HR activities could be automated or handled by AI agents by 2030. The bigger question the hosts put on the table: how HR teams keep human judgment in the work and prepare people for roles that are changing fast.
In his segment, Mike Peditto sat down with Chris as President and COO of Uniti Med, GQR Healthcare and Nebula. They talked about how company culture fueled Uniti Med’s 10x revenue growth, what HR can do about the healthcare workforce shortage, how to use AI in recruiting without losing the human touch, and the lessons behind You Are Capable of More.
Chris runs a company that builds AI sourcing tools and a company that places clinicians, so he sees both sides of the question. Technology can take on the tasks, but people still decide whether they stay, grow and do their best work, and that comes down to culture and leadership.
