HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
Agentic AI is tightening its grip on HR workflows today, with Yellow.ai launching Nexus EDGE to resolve—rather than merely answer—employee IT, HR, and operations issues, while Gloat integrates The Josh Bersin Company's Galileo into its AI agents for enterprise HR, and Neeyamo's global payroll compliance AI advances to a third-generation multi-agent system. On the analytics front, SAP SuccessFactors gains dynamic historical headcount capabilities in Story Reports via input parameters. Meanwhile, an EEOC lawsuit settlement over inaccessible benefits platforms resulting in a $150K payout serves as a pointed reminder that AI adoption must not outpace accessibility obligations.
