Last Wednesday was May 20. International HR Day. And we could not have spent it better.
HR Playbook 7.0 is officially a wrap. This was the most special edition we have ever built. Not because of the sessions or the speakers, but because of the room. Because of you.
Thank you for showing up. You reminded us exactly why we do this. 🙌
10 Takeaways from HR Playbook 7.0 👇
1️⃣AI doesn't need a technical background to be useful in HR. It needs the right starting point.
2️⃣Claude Cowork fits directly into the workflows HR teams already run. Hiring, L&D, documentation and employee communication.
3️⃣The problem with workforce learning isn't the tools. Most organizations are still measuring access instead of capability change.
4️⃣AI can personalize learning at scale. But without strategic intent behind it, it just makes the same broken system faster.
5️⃣Using prompts is not the same as seeing outcomes. The real shift happens when AI is embedded into how your function operates.
6️⃣When hiring is treated like a product, every part of the funnel gets better. Speed, quality and candidate experience included.
7️⃣AI-powered recruitment is not about replacing recruiters. It's about making sure they only step in when it actually matters.
8️⃣Employee safety and healthcare access are no longer perks. They are the foundation of how modern organizations retain and grow their people.
9️⃣The future of HR technology is not about automating existing processes. It's about reimagining them entirely with AI at the center.
🔟When AI becomes infrastructure in your HR function, it stops being something one person knows how to use and starts being how the whole team operates.

$20.8B in Redemption Requests. Percent Was Issuing Deals and Paying on Schedule.
Those requests came from non-traded BDC investors in Q1 2026, and most got back roughly half of what they asked for. Moody's U.S. BDC sector outlook: Negative.
On Percent's marketplace that same quarter: new issuances, scheduled payments, 0.44% lifetime net loss rate on asset-based deals since inception.† The difference is structural: concentrated corporate loans with redemption windows that close at manager discretion vs. asset-based finance with 6–24 month deal terms. 14.6% net ABS returns LTM after losses (3/31/26).† Starting at $500.
Alternative investments are speculative. No assurance can be given that investors will receive a return of their capital. †Past performance is not indicative of future results. Terms apply.

The ones who were in the room last Wednesday and can not wait for the next one. 🙋
And the ones who missed it and spent the weekend regretting it. 😬
Both of you are not missing the next one.
