HR Leader Podcast Network

Show Notes

In this special episode of The HR Leader Podcast, produced in partnership with ELMO, we explore AI as a workforce transformation from the perspective of the HR function. What does a tangible impact look like? And how ELMO's own journey shows HR teams how to reduce overwhelm, build capability, improve process design, and take on a more strategic role.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with ELMO global chief people officer Anne Tosky about why AI transformation is workforce transformation, why Australian businesses are falling behind what ELMO learnt on its own journey, and the practical, evidence-based steps HR can take, from engaging staff in open dialogue to using ELMO's AI Maturity Assessment tool.
