CEOs keep copying AI headlines instead of strategy. Here's why the splashy announcement is never the whole story, and what to ask before you act. A common concern I hear from CHROs, CFOs and other executives lately is that their CEO or founder is falling prey to Twitter / X FOMO. By “Twitter FOMO,” I mean the pressure to act on every AI trend as it happens. A founder posts about becoming “AI-first.” A company announces a headcount reduction tied to automation.

AI makes targets easy to hit in a day, but that doesn't necessarily translate to results. Here's how to measure what actually matters now. Did you notice anything different after the 2026 midyear review cycle? Our managers at Laserfiche reported that teams shattered previous execution-based metrics. On paper, this looks like a historic triumph in productivity: IT teams are deploying new solutions faster than ever before.
Workera launches AI First Translations to its platform to separate English proficiency from job skills for global workforces. A skills test given only in English doesn't just measure skills. It also measures English fluency. Workera, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based skills intelligence firm, thinks it's found a fix. The company announced the launch of AI-First Translations today, which makes assessments, mentoring tools and admin features available in employees' own languages.
AI cleaned up our workplace communications. It's also made people less likely to have difficult conversations, with real organizational consequences. Workplace communication is getting more polished, more coherent and, increasingly, less human. As AI writing tools get incorporated into email clients, messaging platforms and productivity suites, a problem is emerging alongside efficiency gains.
As AI drives content costs down, the winners will be the leaders who keep story and culture at the center of the work. Every leader is being sold the same promise: more and faster. Generate the deck … draft the memo … read the notes that summarize the meeting you skipped. It’s a seductive offer, but aimed squarely at the wrong problem. The bottleneck in most organizations was never the production of words, images and video. The challenge centered on getting anyone to believe them.
Employee engagement isn't measured by survey scores alone. It's shaped by leadership, trust and the everyday experiences that define workplace culture. Employee engagement is not a pulse survey score, a slide in a board pack or a once-a-year initiative rolled out with good intentions and little follow-through. Engagement is the difference between people turning up to work and people showing up.
After one federal HR consolidation failed, Washington launched an even bigger one. The lessons for enterprise HR leaders are already emerging. In March 2025, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth pulled the plug on a federal HR consolidation project that had been running for seven years. It started in 2018 during the first Trump Administration as a $36 million, one-year proof of concept to consolidate roughly six DoD HR systems onto a single cloud platform.
AI is helping us swap tedious work for something new: reviewing outputs we didn't create and carrying the blame when they're wrong. The promise was efficiency. AI would perform the tedious work, the first drafts, the synthesis, the boilerplate code and hand the time back so employees could think. For a growing share of workers, the trade has run the other way. AI has not removed labor so much as swapped one kind for another. The new work is slower, less satisfying and harder to name.
