David Hanrahan on workplace disconnection & AI in HR

This week, I’m joined by David Hanrahan, Chief People Officer at Flare.

Flare’s software platform is transforming the delivery of professional services within the legal sector. By simplifying complex processes, Flare empowers lawyers to deliver an elevated experience, ensuring clarity and support during key life events.

In this episode, David and I dig into some of the biggest challenges and opportunities shaping the modern workplace.

TALKING POINTS:

• The challenge of workplace disconnection and social isolation—why addressing this is crucial for employee well-being.
• The ongoing debate on work models: insights on remote, hybrid, and in-office work, and why “one size fits all” doesn’t work.
• The evolving role of AI in HR and how it can help reduce busywork, enabling people teams to focus on more meaningful human interactions.
• Rethinking performance reviews—shifting from individual assessments to evaluating team performance for greater impact.
• Practical steps HR leaders can take to foster genuine human connection and boost team performance.
