In the launch episode of Smart Workplaces and the Keynote session of the SHRM Smart Workplaces Virtual Retreat, Tim Sackett, CEO of HRUTech explores a defining question for modern organizations: How do we build smarter workplaces without losing what makes us human?
As companies race to adopt new technologies, the challenge isn’t just choosing the right tools—it’s aligning innovation with purpose, people, and performance. This conversation moves beyond the hype of AI to focus on practical, human-centered strategies for evaluating and implementing solutions that drive automation, enable transformation, and enhance employee wellbeing.
Tim is set to unpack how leaders can cut through noise, avoid “shiny object syndrome,” and make confident decisions about the tools and platforms that will shape the future of work. From building a resilient tech stack to fostering cultures that embrace change, this episode delivers a blueprint for organizations looking to work smarter—without sacrificing humanity.
