HR Tech 2025

HR Tech 2025

Recorded live from the official HR Tech podcast studio, this limited series drops you straight into the conversations everyone at the conference actually wanted to hear. HR Tech—over 25 years strong and the annual migration point for every HR and TA pro on the planet—handed the WRKdefined Podcast Network the keys to a studio, and we spent three days pulling in our hosts to interview operators, executives, consultants, product leaders, and investors in rapid-fire episodes. No BS. Just sharp perspective, fresh takes, and the best brainpower from the world’s largest gathering of HR and talent leaders. If you want to know what people were thinking between the sessions, this is where you’ll find it. To learn more about HR Tech, visit www.hrtechnologyconference.com

Cole Napper doesn’t think so. He argues the opposite. The field isn’t dying. It’s shifting. The future is AI transformation, workforce modeling, and organizational change at scale. And the people who’ve lived inside the analytics trenches are the on...
