HR Transformation in the Age of AI – Building a Workforce Ready for What’s Next
AI is changing how organizations operate, how skills evolve, and how work gets done. Yet many HR teams are still working with systems and strategies designed for a different era.
Join Robin Daniels, Chief Business Officer at Zensai, and David Perring, Chief Insights Officer at Fosway, for a conversation on how HR leaders can move beyond workforce administration and start enabling true workforce readiness.
Drawing on Fosway’s latest research and real-world leadership experience, this session will explore how HR can evolve into a strategic driver of workforce capability in the age of AI.
Key Takeaways
- AI is breaking traditional workforce planning faster than organizations are adapting.
Nearly 80% of EMEA leaders plan to accelerate AI adoption, yet 86% of organizations still lack visibility into their current and future skills, making role‑based workforce planning increasingly disconnected from how work is actually changing. - Skills‑based planning is the goal but execution is lagging badly.
While almost 90% of organizations say they want to become skills‑based, only 16% have made the shift, leaving most leaders without the workforce intelligence needed to redeploy talent as AI reshapes tasks and roles. - Workforce readiness is as much a human risk as a technology one.
Employees believe around 50% of white‑collar work could be automated, yet organizations that focus on automation without reinforcing belonging, trust, and clarity risk disengagement (and stalled transformation) at the moment they need execution most.
“Fear may be the first response that we will no longer be needed, but I believe that AI used strategically can free us up from mundane tasks, enhancing performance and increase our ability to be engaging, creative, and interactive – as Humans we need to be. Â The change and transformation is hard to do, and where to start… thank you for your pointers in this” – Attendee quote
