🤖 As AI increasingly reshapes work, organisations and leadership, is HR the new R&D department?

🔥 That’s one of the topics that features in the November edition of the Data Driven HR Monthly, which brings together the HR, people analytics, AI and future of work resources that caught my eye over the month 🔥

🔎 This month’s edition also explores what the leading 5% of companies are doing to generate value at scale from AI and move from experimentation to real business impact. One of these factors is strategic workforce planning, which McKinsey report is a top practice for AI high performers. We also discover how to measure ROI in people analytics, how the HR operating model should be reimagined, and examine the evolution of the L&D function. I’ve also provided a list of 11 newsletters I recommend readers subscribe to.

🙏 Thank you to Jennifer Blumfield and the Go1 team for sponsoring the November edition of the Data Driven HR Monthly.

Perfect for a Sunday read 🥐 ☕ 🗞

Open article: The best HR & People Analytics articles of November 2025 by David Green 🇺🇦 • 30 min read

The best HR & People Analytics articles of November 2025

🎙️ "The future of hybrid work will be won by leaders who prioritise trust, outcomes, and continuous learning — not by those who double down on attendance mandates."

🔎 To date, no peer-reviewed research shows a benefit to a rigid five-day office model. Indeed, according to the latest Flex Index report, the average number of working days required in the office is 2.87 days. 

Those CEOs that are pushing for four or five in-office days are, Brian Elliott, Nick Bloom and Prithwiraj Choudhury argue, fixated on the wrong problem. 

Data from 8,500 U.S. companies show no link between stricter return-to-office mandates and improved performance. The real challenge isn’t hybrid policy — it’s leadership capability. High-performing organisations focus on how work is led, not where it happens. 

The authors outline four capabilities that distinguish hybrid leaders: 

1️⃣ Know Your Talent Edge: 
🔎 Understand what makes your organisation attractive and design flexibility around it, as seen at Allstate, the European Central Bank and Airbnb. 

2️⃣ Measure Results, Not Presence: 
🔎 Replace badge tracking with outcome-based performance management as companies like Atlassian and Synchrony have done. 

3️⃣ Let Teams Lead the Way: 
🔎 Empower teams to set norms for when and how they meet; companies like Microsoft, Teradyne and Atlassian use this approach to strengthen accountability and trust. 

4️⃣ Invest in Getting Better: 
🔎 Companies that succeed over the long term make sustained investments in three critical areas – infrastructure redesign (e.g. Dropbox), resource allocation (e.g. Zillow), and skills development. 

The authors’ conclusion (see quote at top of post) resonates.

🔥 Is HR the new R&D?

🔗 Presenting the best HR, future of work and people analytics resources for November: https://lnkd.in/ekVuREn8 🔗

Resources include:
🔎 JESS VON BANK and her Mercer colleagues present a new HR Operating model that enables humans and machines to work together and thrive (see attached report).
🎙️ "What comes next isn’t another phase of HR transformation layered on a legacy foundation. It’s not optimization, digitization or evolution. It’s reinvention - of the operating model itself and of the HR function’s role within it."

🔎 Dan Riley and Shonna Waters, PhD analyse what happens when connection becomes something we consume instead of something we co-create – and provide guidance for leaders.

🔎 Susan Cantrell, Russell Klosk (智能虎), Zac Shaw, Kevin Moss, Christopher Tomke, and Michael Griffiths present the five key shifts required to reinvent workforce planning for an AI powered and uncertain world.

🔎 Beth Cobert, Brooke Weddle, Bryan Hancock and Lucia Rahilly discuss the cross-sector collaborations required to help businesses and workers develop skills for the future—and connect education more directly to high-quality jobs.

🔎 Amy Coleman discusses with Christopher Rainey how Microsoft is navigating AI’s impact on work, emphasising trust, transparency, and inclusion as the essential foundations.

🔎 Jason Averbook digs into the perfect storm hitting the workforce from four directions and the outlines the path forward.

🔎 Thomas Otter and I explore the current and future state of HR tech, the impact of AI and what leaders, investors and HR Tech companies themselves need to know.

⚽ A world beating line up of XI newsletters I recommend subscribing to, including those penned by the likes of: Dave Ulrich, Hung Lee, Brian Elliott, Anna A. Tavis, PhD, Maria Nolazco Masson, and Andrew Spence.

🔎 Dr Philip Gibbs shares insights from a recent webinar with Sally Smith, Kanella Salapatas, Greg Newman and me to look what lies ahead for people analytics in the APAC region.

Mercer | The New HR Operating Model

🎙️ "Strategic workforce planning is a top practice of AI high performers."

🤖 McKinsey’s State of AI in 2025 report shows an enterprise landscape where AI use is widespread, but value is uneven. 

The headline findings are clear: 
🔎 Most organisations remain in experimentation or pilot phases; 
🔎 62% are exploring AI agents but few have scaled them; 
🔎 Innovation benefits are visible, yet only 39% report enterprise-level EBIT impact; 
🔎 High performers pair efficiency with growth and innovation goals;  
🔎 Workflow redesign is the defining capability separating leaders from the rest. 🔎 Views on employment diverge, with expectations ranging from reductions to increases in workforce size. 

For Chief People Officers, the report reinforces that AI adoption is as much a people challenge as a technology one. Organisations are hiring for AI-related roles - especially data and engineering talent - while demand for AI skills is rising across existing jobs. 

High performers excel because leaders role-model AI use, invest in upskilling, build clear workforce plans that anticipate AI-driven shifts, and embed human-in-the-loop practices (see Figure). 

HR functions themselves are early adopters of agentic use cases but remain far from scaled deployment. The workforce impacts ahead are not uniform. Larger organisations expect more change, and high performers anticipate both increases and decreases in headcount as roles evolve. 

For HR, the imperative is to redesign workflows, build AI-ready talent strategies, and create trust through transparency and capability building. 

👉 The message is simple: strategic workforce planning and talent strategy, leadership alignment, and disciplined skill development will determine which organisations turn AI ambition into lasting performance. 

🙏 Kudos to the authors: Alex Singla, Alexander Sukharevsky, Lareina Yee, Michael Chui, Bryce Hall and Tara Balakrishnan. 

🙏 Thanks to Hung Lee for highlighting the report in a recent edition of the excellent Recruiting Brainfood.

I am known for my ability to influence for change and develop talented Human Resources professionals into a cohesive, high performance team that quickly gain the respect of its business partners and rigorously execute to plan. 

In my current role, my team won the Chairman’s Team Excellence Award in 2020, the first such award for the entire Human Resources team, for designing and executing the flagship leadership development program despite the challenge posed by the pandemic. During my role as the Head of Global Learning Delivery, Cognizant Academy was ranked #1 among the learning organizations globally by Association for Talent Development (ATD, formerly ASTD - American Society for Training & Development) in 2013 and 2014.
