Should the CHRO become the Chief People-AI Officer? One HR leader says yes — and the case is hard to argue with. 🤔
In a sharp piece for HR Executive, Westfield CPO Jennifer Palmieri makes a direct call to her fellow HR leaders: AI is rewriting the HR playbook, and the leaders who don’t rewrite their roles alongside it risk becoming irrelevant in the most significant workforce transformation of our careers.
The stakes are real. 52% of workers worry about AI’s implications. The organizations that pair AI adoption with genuine workforce enablement — with transparency, reskilling, and clear ethical guardrails — will pull ahead. Those that treat it purely as a technology rollout will fall behind. ⚡
At Workday, we believe HR must be at the center of AI transformation. Not downstream of it.
