  These are the things that HR should never delegate to AI | Diary of a CHRO Ep45 14.09.2026 18m

  AI is transforming the way we work, however, not everything should be automated, delegated, or handed over to a machine.The question isn’t whether AI can do something. It’s whether it should!Angelina Michail, Head of HR for Ecolab’s European Headquarters and Switzerland, explores where AI can create meaningful value in HR and where human judgment, empathy, leadership, and accountability must remain at the centre.With more than 15 years of experience in strategic HR transformation, organizational culture, and diversity, equity & inclusion, Angelina brings a practical perspective on the evolving relationship between people and technology. She leads Copilot adoption across HR and is helping advance the integration of AI into HR service delivery, while keeping the human experience at the heart of transformation.A certified leadership professional and boardroom member, Angelina is passionate about creating inclusive, high-performing environments where people, purpose, and performance converge. She is particularly energized by reimagining the digital workplace, where AI, automation, and human-centred design can transform how HR teams operate, collaborate, and create impact.Watch the conversation to explore what we should embrace, what we should automate, and most importantly, what must always remain human.▶️ Watch the full interview on Diary of CHRO YouTube Channel, Spotify or Apple PodcastAngelina Michail will be a speaker at the People Experience Conference in Geneva, on November 6, 2026.Register for the event https://www.thepworld.com/event/people-experience-conference-geneva-2Guest Profile:https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelinamichail/Follow João Ricardo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaoricardos/https://www.linkedin.com/company/dchrohttps://www.instagram.com/diaryofchro/ Subscribe to the 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙃𝙍𝙊 Newsletter:https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/diary-of-chro-podcast-7339651439327113216#humanresources #hr #dchro #diaryofchro #aiinhr #futureofwork #humancenteredai (00:00) Intro(00:38) What makes AI adoption in HR particularly difficult in a multinational organization?(03:13) What separates an AI experiment from an AI use case that delivers real business value?(07:05) What should HR never delegate to AI?(11:17) Does AI actually make HR more human?(11:52) What skills will the next generation of HR professionals need because of AI?(13:19) What is one thing about AI in HR that you think most HR leaders are getting wrong right now?(15:35) The People Experience Conference in Geneva on November 6, 2026

  What Really Happens in a Job Interview? | Diary of a CHRO Ep44 08.09.2026 28m

  A job interview can feel like a simple conversation about your experience, but there is often much more happening beneath the surface.What I find particularly interesting is the idea that an interview isn't simply about giving the “right” answers. It is also about how we communicate, how we respond under pressure, how we talk about our achievements and failures, and whether we can create a genuine connection.It’s about nervousness, authenticity, difficult questions, storytelling, verbal and non-verbal communication, and the importance of preparing without losing who you are.Graça Carvalho, psychologist, consultant, certified coach, and founder of flawed-human., we explore what employers are really assessing beyond the CV. She brings a fascinating perspective from her work in psychological safety, organizational mental health, transformative communication, and human development. Her approach reminded me that behind every CV is a person with a story, strengths, failures, insecurities, and potential.And perhaps that is what makes interviews so interesting: they are not just about what you have done. They are also about how you show up.💬 What do you think is the most important thing an interviewer can learn about a candidate that will never appear on a CV?Share your thoughts in the comments, and if you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe to the channel and join us for more conversations about leadership, talent, people, and the future of work.Meet Graça Carvalho! ▶️ Watch the full interview on Diary of CHRO YouTube Channel, Spotify or Apple PodcastGraça Carvalho will also be a speaker at the UP - Formação Contínua Conference on October 15-16, 2026, at ExponorRegister for the event:https://app.beamian.com/up-formacao-continua-e-rh-2026/new-visitor Guest Profile:https://www.linkedin.com/in/gra%C3%A7a-carvalho/?locale=enhttps://www.flawed-human.com/https://www.instagram.com/human.flawed/Follow João Ricardo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaoricardos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/dchro⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/diaryofchro/⁠ Subscribe to the 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙃𝙍𝙊 Newsletter:https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/diary-of-chro-podcast-7339651439327113216#humanresources #hr #dchro #diaryofchro #JobInterview #InterviewTips #CareerDevelopment #Recruitment #communicationskills (00:00) Intro(00:41) What do candidates usually misunderstand about what an interviewer is trying to assess?(03:00) The Power Dynamics(09:29) Best strategies for someone who becomes extremely nervous during interviews?(15:40) Confidence Vs Courage(18:45) AI Job Interviews(23:28) Good answer to the question: “Tell me a negative aspect about yourself?”(26:59) UP - Formação Contínua Conference on October 15-16, 2026

  Transforming Employee Experience at Google | Diary of a CHRO Ep43 28.08.2026 16m

  What does HR look like when Google decides to redesign the employee experience from the inside out?Giacomo Nicora is the Country Process Owner and HR PMO for Italy at Google, and in this conversation, he walks us through what it actually takes to transform HR processes at one of the most complex organizations in the world.We talk about how data and project management discipline can coexist with genuine care for people, why digital transformation in HR is not about replacing the human side but making it sharper, and what happens when you bring an analytics mindset into a function that has traditionally relied on intuition.Giacomo's path gave him a rare perspective: he sees both the spreadsheet and the person behind it. And that tension between technology and human potential is exactly where the most interesting work is happening right now.Whether you're an HR leader trying to make your processes smarter, a people analytics professional looking for real-world examples, or simply curious about how Google thinks about employee experience, this episode will challenge how you think about what HR operations can become.If this conversation makes you rethink one process in your own organization, tag the person on your team who needs to hear it too.Giacomo will also be a speaker at the People Experience Conference in Zagreb, on October 23, 2026. https://www.thepworld.com/event/peopl...Guest Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/giacomonicora/Follow João Ricardo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaoricardos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/dchrohttps://www.instagram.com/diaryofchro/ Subscribe to the 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙃𝙍𝙊 Newsletter:https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/diary-of-chro-podcast-7339651439327113216#humanresources #hr #dchro #diaryofchro #employeeengagement #hrtech #hrtechnology #google(00:00) What is a Process Owner and HR PMO?(02:44) What urgently needs to change in HR?(05:15) Skills the next generation of HR leaders need(08:00) Career Development at Google(10:45) What can't data tell us about people?(13:13) 1 HR metric that organizations pay too much attention to; 1 they don't pay enough attention to?(15:08) People Experience Conference in Zagreb, on October 23, 2026.

  Why Is Recognition the Secret to Sustained Performance? | Diary of a CHRO Ep42 25.08.2026 19m

  When was the last time someone recognized your work in a way that actually meant something? Most companies remember to recognize people when they leave.A farewell post, a thank-you speech, maybe a gift card after years of work. But the months and years before that? Silence.I've seen this pattern across organizations of all sizes. The people who keep showing up, who quietly deliver, who hold teams together through difficult quarters, they hear almost nothing until the day they hand in their notice. And by then, recognition isn't motivation. It's a goodbye.What fascinates me is how simple the shift can be. Not expensive programs or complicated platforms. Just a leader who notices effort while it's happening, not after it's gone. And the impact on sustained performance is something most HR teams dramatically underestimate.That's exactly what we explored in the latest episode of Diary of CHRO: "Why Is Recognition the Secret to Sustained Performance?"We got into why recognition works when it's specific and timely, why it fails when it becomes a checkbox, and what the research actually says about its connection to retention and discretionary effort. It was one of those conversations that made me rethink how I do this in my own team.Alex Grande is the Founder & CEO of Recognize, helping organizations build stronger, more connected cultures. His approach centers on one core belief: consistent, meaningful recognition that motivates employees to keep doing their best work.Guest Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexgrande/https://recognizeapp.com/Follow João Ricardo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaoricardos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/dchro⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/diaryofchro/⁠ Subscribe to the 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙃𝙍𝙊 Newsletter:https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/diary-of-chro-podcast-7339651439327113216#humanresources   #hr     #dchro   #diaryofchro     #talentmanagement   #talentstrategy   #Gamification(00:00) What is Recognizeapp.com?(03:41) What drove you to create Recognizeapp.com?(06:35) What are the most effective ways to use gamification?(09:04) The “must-haves” for a successful, sustainable recognition program?(12:33) How can organizations use behavioral science to promote safety and well-being among field workers?(14:30) retaining top talent in high-turnover industries(16:15) Low-cost strategies to keep employees engaged and connected

  Why Every Leader Must Think Like a Game Master | Diary of a CHRO Ep41 17.08.2026 24m

  What if the principles of game design could transform the way we lead, learn, and engage people at work?In this conversation with Thiago Barrionuevo from Cuboo Experience, we explore the power of game-based learning and why leaders should think more like “Game Masters”, creating experiences that challenge people, encourage experimentation, foster collaboration, and make learning more engaging.We discuss how games can unlock different ways of learning, how leaders can create environments where people feel motivated to participate and grow, and why the future of leadership may require us to rethink how we design learning experiences.In this episode, we explore:𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦-𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦-𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵Thiago will also be a speaker at the Exponor UP Conference on October 15-16, 2026.Meet Thiago Barrionuevo! Register for the event:https://exponor.pt/up-formacao-continua/Guest Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thiago-barrionuevo/https://cubooexp.com/Follow João Ricardo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaoricardos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/dchro⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/diaryofchro/⁠ Subscribe to the 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙃𝙍𝙊 Newsletter:https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/diary-of-chro-podcast-7339651439327113216#humanresources   #hr     #dchro   #diaryofchro     #talentmanagement  #leadership #talentdevelopment     #leadershipdevelopment  #talentstrategy   #GameBasedLearning #LearningAndDevelopment #Gamification #GameMaster #LearningCulture #PeopleDevelopment(00:00) Intro(02:36) You describe Life as a Game.

  Why Most Employer Brands Are Failing? | Diary of a CHRO Ep39 29.07.2026 37m

  Employer branding isn't dead, but the old playbook is.In this recent episode, I challenge Bell Gama to explore why so many employer brands struggle to attract top talent despite investing in polished career pages, EVP campaigns, and social content.
