IS HR BEING FIRED: AI Is Splitting Your Workforce in Two
About This Episode
AI isn't leveling the workforce. It's splitting it into two completely different tracks — and most organizations haven't realized it yet. In this episode of Is HR Being Fired?, I break down new workforce data showing how AI is changing the value of work, why some roles are becoming more valuable while others are being democratized, and what HR leaders need to do before this divide starts showing up in attrition, productivity, and the P&L. I'll also show you how I use my Value of Work Matrix and the five FutHRist mindsets — Architect, Engineer, Scientist, COO, and Coach — to diagnose what's happening inside an organization and build a workforce strategy around it. 👉 Links mentioned in the video: IS HR BEING FIRED playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdyUKttA2krw CEO Fires HR video: https://youtu.be/8zPu9YLUerc Information about the FutHRist: www.trentcotton.com Subscribe to the channel and check out The FutHRist playlist to learn more about the five mindsets that I believe will become the new operating system for HR.
