What happened
Shannon Chamber's Dromoland Castle conference, attended by CEOs and HR leaders, concluded that artificial intelligence (AI), new legislation like the EU Pay Transparency Directive, and economic uncertainty are pushing human resources to a critical turning point. Helen Downes, CEO, stated HR must shift from a support role to a central driver of business strategy. KPMG's Daragh McGreal noted record employment alongside geopolitical instability, impacting talent competition.
Why it matters
Organisations face competitive disadvantage without HR adaptation to AI and new legislation. Founders and HR leaders must integrate AI and regulatory changes, like the EU Pay Transparency Directive, into strategic planning. The rapid pace of AI and legislative shifts demand HR move from a support function to a central business strategy driver, impacting talent competition and technology adoption.
