Some companies rushed to cut jobs, convinced AI could absorb the work. Now many are hiring people back. What changed?

As organizations move beyond the first wave of AI adoption, they're discovering that productivity, judgment, trust, and accountability don't always automate easily.

Join our experts as they build on Korn Ferry’s Briefings cover story, “Help Wanted: Humans?”

We'll explore what's causing this unusual reversal in strategy and, more importantly, whether this new appreciation of human contribution will last.

We’ll cover:

  • The difference between automating tasks and eliminating jobs
  • How to avoid costly workforce decisions as AI continues to evolve
  • How leaders can redesign work and organizations for a Human + AI future
