Session Focus: Strategies Talent Leaders Can Use to Navigate the Challenges of the AI-Enhanced Workplace
This interactive roundtable will surface practical strategies for balancing AI's accelerating impact with the workforce's human needs. From managing emotional strain to embedding learning and reflection into daily workflows, we’ll explore how talent leaders can shape healthier, more adaptive workplaces in the GenAI era.
"With GenAI now being used more for therapy and emotional support than even idea generation (per HBR’s 2025 report shared in Mike Hruska’s ELE keynote), it’s clear that wellbeing is no longer a side conversation—it’s central to how many of us now work."
- Why is therapy and companionship now the #1 GenAI use case, according to Harvard Business Review (April 2025)?
- How are organizations using GenAI to relieve pressure in emotionally and cognitively demanding roles?
- What does “Authentic Intelligence” look like when wellbeing—not just efficiency—is the goal?
- How can we build in moments of recovery and reflection wherever AI touches daily work?
“Most resistance to AI isn’t refusal—it’s a skills gap.” -- Guillermo Gutierrez
