HR frightfest: Leaders from Salesforce to Indeed share their biggest fears about the workplace this spooky season
Briefly

Kelly Joscelyne, VP of HR at Indeed: 'AI is taking over many tasks that have overwhelmed managers, and it's exposing a big gap. In the past, managers could rely on administrative or knowledge-based work to cover for weaker people skills. But as AI steps in, managers who lack strong human skills-like empathy, leadership, and listening-will stand out. The shift from being a "task manager" to a true "people manager" is coming, and for some, that change could be challenging.'
Nathaalie Carey, SVP of HR at Prologis: 'I am terrified of the Death of Intuition. With so much focus on AI and data, the most frightening thing to me is people exclusively depending on KPIs and data analysis to make decisions that impact people. While I fully support using technology to help and streamline work, I also believe that human intuition is still crucial for making the "right" decisions. Sometimes, what seems best according to data isn't always what's truly right.'
Laura Adams, global CHRO at JLL: 'The transformative impact of AI in how we work and live can feel frightening, especially when considering how quickly technology evolves. For HR professionals, this technological shift means reassessing how we engage and manage talent, as traditional skills may no longer suffice. Embracing continuous learning and adaptation is crucial to thrive in this new environment.'
