Human Resources Operations: Workflow Friction, Automation Gaps, and the Practical Role of AI

from Podcast · host Jonathan Feldman

In this episode we dig into where HR functions in small and mid-size organizations are losing time across the six workflows that drive most of the day-to-day work, from recruiting and onboarding to payroll, performance management, compliance tracking, and workforce reporting. We walk through a real employee onboarding workflow step by step in both the manual and automated state, look at what a 22-person professional services firm actually found when they audited their own HR processes, and cover which AI tools have moved from hype to deployable right now.
