Overview
On Episode 7 of the FutureWork Show, in partnership with Hacking HR, HR Leaders, and atlas copilot, HR experts Christopher Rainey and Matt Burns interviewed Britton Bloch and Richard Gregory.
The discussion focused on how organizations can navigate the AI revolution by balancing technology implementation with organizational readiness and employee trust. Successful AI integration requires capabilities not just around technological adoption, but also change management, clear value proposition communication, and robust governance frameworks. While talent acquisition currently shows the most immediate impact from AI implementation, the broader opportunity lies in HR's ability to drive organization-wide transformation. The key to success is how technology is implemented: breaking down silos, focusing on value realization, measuring impact holistically, and maintaining the crucial human element in all processes. As one expert noted, technology enables transformation but doesn't create it, and that responsibility still lies with strategic HR leadership focusing on both business outcomes and employee experience.
The Future of Work is Now: How HR Leaders Can Navigate the AI Revolution
In the latest episode of FutureWork, experts from Navy Federal Credit Union and Avanade revealed ideas and insights about how their organizations are adapting to the rapid and accelerating technological change.
Here are the key takeaways from this compelling discussion about the intersection of HR and AI.
Breaking Down the AI Implementation Challenge
One of the most significant challenges organizations face today is balancing the pace of technological change with organizational capacity for change.
Britton pointed out that internal resistance often stems from fear and a lack of understanding about how new technologies will benefit employees.
The key to successful implementation is in establishing the "why" upfront and clearly communicating the value proposition to team members. Organizations must maintain alignment between new technologies and existing organizational goals, ensuring that technology serves as an enabler rather than a disruptor of strategic objectives.
The Trust Factor: Rebuilding Confidence in Times of Change
The discussion highlighted how trust within organizations has significantly declined since the COVID-19 pandemic. This trust deficit presents a crucial challenge as companies implement AI solutions that could potentially disrupt existing job functions.
The panel emphasized that rebuilding trust is perhaps the number one imperative for C-suite leaders today.
Interestingly, in conversations with hundreds of CHROs over the past nine months, the focus has consistently been on augmentation rather than workforce restructuring. The emphasis is on enhancing service levels, improving data access, and creating more diverse datasets – not replacing human workers.
Transforming Talent Acquisition Through AI
The recruitment space is experiencing perhaps the most immediate impact from AI implementation. At Navy Federal Credit Union, AI-driven platforms are enabling real-time analysis of large candidate pools and streamlining tasks like resume parsing and interview scheduling. This automation allows recruiters to focus on high-value activities like candidate engagement and strategic workforce planning.
However, the panel stressed the importance of strategic implementation. Organizations must carefully monitor metrics around quality of hire, efficiency gains, and potential adverse impacts or bias. The key is finding the right balance between automation and human touch in the recruitment process.
The Path Forward: Strategic Implementation and Measurement
The discussion highlighted that HR has a unique opportunity to step beyond its traditional boundaries and help enable value across the entire business. Rather than focusing solely on HR-specific AI applications, HR leaders can partner with CIOs and operational units to drive the broader organizational transformation agenda.
Looking ahead, the panelists agreed that we're entering what could be the most significant period of change in our careers. While this presents challenges, it also offers unprecedented opportunities for HR leaders to take center stage in driving organizational transformation.
For HR professionals looking to lead this change, the key is to focus on:
As one panelist noted, "Technology is a transformation enabler, but it's not intended to create transformation." The real transformation comes from thoughtful implementation, strong change management, and a clear focus on both business outcomes and employee experience.

1wThe integration of AI in HR is exciting, but a human-centered approach is key to success. Building trust and transparency is essential—employees need clear communication about AI’s role and impact on their work. HR leaders must also champion inclusivity by ensuring AI tools are free from bias and advocate for diverse datasets during development. AI should enhance human decision-making, not replace it, empowering leaders to use insights while prioritizing empathy. Tailored change management strategies that provide training and resources can help employees adapt, ensuring inclusivity for all. By focusing on trust, diversity, and empowerment, HR leaders can leverage AI to drive engagement and innovation while maintaining a culture of equity and connection.
