Join us for an unforgettable event featuring a dynamic discussion on addressing and supporting menopause in the workplace. Gain valuable insights and practical tools to create workplace solutions that support employees navigating perimenopause and menopause. This event will also inspire women to “reimagine menopause” as an empowering journey, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and valued.

Let’s be real: HR isn’t swamped because there’s too much work. It’s swamped because we’re still doing way too much of it manually. If you're still screening resumes with spreadsheets, formatting job postings like it’s 2006, or writing policies from scratch — that’s not “busy,” that’s avoidable.

In this session, we’re cutting through the hype and the fears. We’ll talk about what parts of HR are already being automated (yep, right now), what’s safe (for now), and what’s on the chopping block over the next 2–3 years. We’ll also discuss why HR is behind the curve compared to departments like Sales, Marketing, and Operations. 

But this isn’t about replacing people. It’s about using AI to actually do the things we always say we want to do: be more human, more strategic, more fair, and way less bogged down in admin hell.
