Change may be the ultimate paradox. While the pace of change may change, the fact of it doesn’t: In the workplace, change is our one constant.
That seeming contradiction was at the heart of the Talent Connect keynote delivered on Tuesday by Jennifer Shappley, the vice president of talent at LinkedIn. In a talk she jokingly called “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: How Change is Changing” (the actual title was “AI at Work Is Here. What Should Talent Leaders and Teams Do Now?”), Jennifer teed up her inner David Bowie.
“If last year we knew we were facing change,” Jennifer told her Talent Connect Summit audienc ..read more

AI is everywhere, and the applications for it are virtually endless. It has been deployed in everything from RoboBees, drones that can pollinate plants, to Flippy, a robotic burger flipper.
Yes, there is a lot of buzz and sizzle about AI. But there is also paradigm-shifting substance.
“The world of work is changing for every single person in ways we only see maybe once in a generation, maybe once in a century, maybe in ways we’ve never seen before,” LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky told a Talent Connect Summit audience in Phoenix earlier today. “That’s the true potential of gen A ..read more

Professionals across industries are seeing how technology powered by AI is starting to play a bigger role in their day-to-day work. It’s an exciting moment of change, where these new AI technologies create an incredible opportunity to use these tools to work for us, so we can get more done and feel more fulfilled in our daily tasks.
Recruiters are a great example of this. They got into recruiting to help people get jobs. But so much of their time is filled with administrative tasks. And we know the job of recruiters is getting harder. Over half (55%) of HR professionals globally say expectati ..read more

What if layoffs are not the quick fix for the challenges companies face?
Based on the frequency and scale of recent layoffs — there have been more than 140,000 in the tech sector this year alone — one might think that downsizing could cure everything from budget constraints to the common cold. But in a recent Harvard Business Review article, Didier Elzinga and Amy Lavoie argue that companies might want to consider the true impact of layoffs before eyeing their head count.
“Layoffs may sound like a shortcut to a more agile, lean, and responsive operation,” the authors say, “but pro ..read more

There’s something universal in the world of work that we’ve all encountered. You’ve written it, reviewed it, probably stressed over it. Yes, I'm talking about that staple of the corporate world: the resume.
Now, I know you’re probably thinking, “Really? The resume? That outdated piece of paper (or its digital twin) is still a thing?” And yes, it is — tragically.
Even in 2024, resumes are still a central part of hiring. But here’s the kicker: They haven’t evolved much in 25 years.
Back in the day, we printed them on fancy cardstock and faxed them off to prospective employers (yes, people ..read more
