In recent years, HR leaders have strived to use information technology not just to digitize HR processes, but to democratize HR technology, transforming it into a tool every employee can use for personal and professional development. Some practitioners go a big step further by redesigning digital systems with the express goal of improving the overall employee experience.
In this podcast, Kellie Romack, senior vice president of digital technology experience at ServiceNow, explains why she believes IT can be a tool for creating joy and simplicity in the workplace. The idea is to build a system that actively engages with employees and serves as a front door to the enterprise applications they need to do their jobs. "We have to get rid of the swivel chair," she says.
The result is more than just an old-school employee portal but a highly automated, responsive system that emphasizes action over navigation and is personalized for specific roles. She details the system deployed inside ServiceNow, which makes a cloud platform for managing IT and business workflows.
Romack previously held executive IT positions at Hilton and Walmart, where she was a ServiceNow customer leading similar efforts to improve the digital experience for both customers and employees.
Other topics discussed in the podcast include:
* the role of generative AI in improving the employee experience
* how to measure success
* why effective leadership is essential in bringing about change
* how ServiceNow's internal projects influence product development

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
