  • โ˜€๏ธ Conventional human resource management systems need revolutionizing or at least some innovation.
    Answer yes or no to this question: “Yes!” is the best answer, according to Dr. Joey’s guest on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast.

    โ˜€๏ธ AI tools can help organizations assess candidates' fit based on behaviors and work styles, and enhance the attraction of top talent while building effective teams.
    โ˜€๏ธ AI can facilitate the understanding of your company’s actual versus desired culture, which allows you to create a more unified and satisfying work experience.
