Wisq

This week, we welcomed the newest member of our HR team....and she just happens to be digital. After months of collaboration across HR, IT, Security and our partners at Wisq, we're excited to officially launch Harper at Blackhawk Network. Harper gives employees and managers a faster, easier way to get answers to HR questions 24/7, while allowing our HR team to focus moments where human connection matters most. Proud of everyone who helped make this happen - and excited to see where this journey takes us! - Welcome to the team Harper! #HRAI #HRTech #PeopleAnalytics #Wisq #BlackhawkNetwork

What changes when AI takes on a large share of HR's day-to-day work?

Breeze Airways™ operates across 85+ cities with 2,800+ pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, and ground crew keeping flights moving around the clock, so their HR team couldn't be a 9-to-5 operation. With Harper, Breeze now resolves 91% of HR inquiries without needing human handoff. Nearly half of those come in outside typical HR business hours. The People Services team went from inbox triage to strategic work. Thank you Jeff Weber and Dina Siclovan for your partnership, and for trusting us to support the people who keep Breeze flying. https://lnkd.in/gCzWAmBG

What are the moments that define an HR function, and how can AI make them better? In The Human Element, Perficient CHRO Heather Oxley joins Barb Bidan and Wisq to share how we’re applying AI across the talent lifecycle, from project staffing to learning and recruiting, to bring greater clarity to the decisions that matter most. One key takeaway: the most impactful use of AI in HR is complementing human judgment in high-stakes, everyday moments, while ensuring the most important decisions always remain human-led. This is what it means to lead with an AI-First mindset. Tune in on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube to hear how we’re putting this into action.

AI adoption isn’t a technology challenge nearly as often as it’s a leadership challenge. Really enjoyed joining Barb Bidan on "The Human Element" podcast (brought to you by Wisq) to talk about what it actually takes to build trust, capability, and responsible AI adoption inside a regulated global organization, and why HR has a critical role to play in that transformation. We covered AI vs augmented intelligence, leadership accountability, technology adoption, enterprise guardrails, and the behaviours leaders need to model if they expect teams to evolve.
