HR Technology & AI

What happens if we keep treating sustainability as someone else’s job? What if short-term wins come at the cost of long-term well-being, equity or adaptability? And what happens if your people outgrow the systems around them? 

AI won’t replace HR, but HR that doesn’t evolve is quietly slipping out of relevance. It’s a reality many leaders are slowly waking up to. We’re entering a new chapter in how people and performance intersect, shaped by intelligent systems, changing expectations and more fluid ways of working.  

Flexible working has shifted from fringe benefit to business norm. Yet many organisations are still stuck in reactive mode, tweaking policies or reverting to old defaults instead of leaning into the change and leveraging it.  

At work with Europe.

Explore the biggest workplace shifts from Europe’s largest annual HR study, including what employees and HR leaders really think about careers, trust, payroll and sustainability. 

The research involved 16,000 employees and 5,625 HR decision makers from 16 European countries. 

If you ask employees how they feel about their pay, you’ll rarely hear: “It’s perfect.”  

And that’s not surprising. In organisations across Europe, most people believe they’re underpaid, even when their salary is above the market rate. And while pay rises can create a short-lived sense of progress, the satisfaction often fades fast. So the real question is: can pay actually motivate people, and if so, how? 

In a rapidly evolving HR landscape, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a focal point for organizations navigating complex issues like talent shortages, employee engagement, and workforce adaptability. At our recent HR Leaders Lab in Paris, SD Worx’s Chief Strategy Officer Michael Custers and our HR Evangelist Jan Laurijssen led an insightful roundtable exploring how HR leaders can harness AI to address these critical challenges.
