HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
Agentic AI is reshaping HR workflows on multiple fronts today, with Yellow.ai launching its Nexus EDGE desktop interface to resolve employee issues end-to-end, Gloat embedding The Josh Bersin Company's Galileo into its HR agents, and Neeyamo unveiling a third-generation multi-agent system for global payroll compliance. On the acquisition and platform side, Armanino has picked up HCM consultancy Sability, while SAP advances its ecosystem with updates spanning SuccessFactors Story Reports and a unified data model for Career Site Builder and SmartRecruiters. Compliance pressures are also mounting, as governments move to crack down on bogus self-employment and an EEOC lawsuit over inaccessible benefits platforms results in a $150K settlement.

Pearson Education agreed to pay $150,000 and implement a three-year compliance program to settle an EEOC lawsuit alleging its online benefits, leave, and training platforms were inaccessible to visually impaired employees who rely on screen-reading software — a concrete ADA enforcement action with direct implications for HR buyers selecting or managing employee-facing HR-tech platforms. Under the consent decree, Pearson must hire a web accessibility consultant, audit and remediate its platforms, and deliver annual ADA accommodation training to HR staff.
