HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
California's push to ban AI emotion surveillance in workplaces moves to Governor Newsom for a decision, while candidates are taking increasingly personal measures—from Botox to tutoring—to navigate AI-driven hiring, and nearly 40% of workers now fear falling behind colleagues on AI skills. Employers, meanwhile, are shopping for new health benefits vendors and grappling with whether compliance training actually translates to on-the-job behavior, even as frontline workers remain HR's most overlooked segment in AI adoption. The Karen Attiah–Washington Post dispute is also prompting fresh scrutiny of corporate social media policies, underscoring how quickly workforce trust issues can become public flash points.
