Two Quarters. Two Big Ideas. One Incredible HR Community.
Compliance ✅ Performance ✅ Next stop: People + AI
Hey there,
Can you believe we’re already halfway through 2025? 🤯
This year, we promised ourselves one thing: no boring HR reports. Instead, we’d pick one big HR challenge each quarter, get real voices in the room, and co-create ideas that actually work.
And wow… what a ride it’s been so far! 🚀
✅ Quarter 1: Cracking the Compliance Code 🧩
Let’s be honest — compliance doesn’t always sound exciting. But it’s the backbone of trust at work. Wage laws, gig work, AI enforcement… these are the things that shape fairness and keep our workplaces future-ready.
So, we rolled up our sleeves with 700+ HRs across India to figure out what’s broken and what needs fixing.
📘 Missed it? Don’t worry — you can still grab the Compliance eBook here:
✅ Quarter 2: HR Think Tank: Rethinking Performance, Together 🤝
After compliance, the community had one clear message: “Fix performance reviews!”
Because let’s face it — most reviews still feel like a dreaded school exam. 🎓✏️
So we asked: what if reviews were actually human, helpful, and maybe even fun?
Here’s what 130+ HRs came up with at our TSOW meetups:
✨ Story-based reviews (not just numbers)
✨ Real-time feedback loops that build trust
✨ AI dashboards that flag bias before it sneaks in
✨ Gamified nudges to keep people motivated
📘 Curious? The full Performance Management eBook just dropped :
🤔 Curious About Q3? Here’s What We’re Exploring Next…
We’re calling it: Powered by People, Enhanced by AI 💡
AI isn’t a “future disruptor” anymore — it’s already here, reshaping how we hire, grow, and support employees. But the real magic? It happens when people + AI work together, responsibly and creatively.
This quarter, we’ll dive into Human–AI collaboration across the employee lifecycle. And just like before, the best ideas will become our next co-authored eBook — written by the community, for the community.

Worried it’s too late to spin up new Black Friday creative? With Roku Ads Manager, you can easily import and augment existing creative assets from your social channels. We also have AI-assisted upscaling, so every ad is primed for CTV.
Once you’ve done this, then you can easily set up A/B tests to flight different creative variants and Black Friday offers. If you’re a Shopify brand, you can even run shoppable ads directly on-screen so viewers can purchase with just a click of their Roku remote.
