HR Leaders Must Build Future-Ready HR Teams For the AI Age
Gartner, Monday, December 1st, 2025
As AI transforms work, HR leaders have the opportunity to play a more strategic, organization-impacting role - both elevating the impact of AI on the organization and growing their own influence as a function.
However, neither HR's staff nor HR's operating model is fully ready to meet these new demands - HR's roles and skills are often locked into HR's transactional past.
We spoke with Piers Hudson, Senior Research Director in the Gartner HR practice, about how HR must align its teams and roles to HR's core differentiating capabilities - and thereby elevate both AI's and the workforce's impact on business outcomes.
