FEATURED SESSION Who Should HR Call First?

AI, Consultants, or Each Other? 

HR leaders have more tools, and more choices, than ever before. When a new challenge arises, where do you turn first? AI? A trusted consultant? Your internal team? Or the experiences of your peers?

Join moderator Chad Atwell and panelists Haris Ikram, Chuck Leu, and Christine Bailey for a candid discussion exploring how AI is reshaping HR and Total Rewards and why the best decisions often come from knowing when to leverage technology and when human expertise matters most.
