2026/01/20

January 20, 2026: Oxford Economics data suggests AI-driven layoffs are still a small slice of overall job cuts, raising questions about whether AI is being used as a convenient explanation for traditional cost cutting. At the same time, Goldman Sachs warns that up to 25% of work hours could be automated—not as a job apocalypse, but as a task-level shock that exposes poorly designed roles. I also unpack new PwC research showing that most CEOs aren't seeing meaningful ROI from their AI investments

I explore why Boomers are staying in the workforce longer while Gen Z struggles to break in, how AI is driving a surge in construction and infrastructure jobs, and why the real bottleneck in the AI economy

January 15, 2026: AI job data says work is stable. Productivity reports promise trillions in gains. Job seekers tell me finding work is getting harder. These stories can't all be true at the same time. In this episode of Future Ready Today, I break down new research from Anthropic on how AI is quietly reshaping jobs task by task, why supposed productivity gains are leaking away through rework and quality issues, how bold $4.5 trillion productivity projections depend on leadership decisions most

January 14, 2026: Change takes far longer than leaders expect—and that gap is where frustration, failure, and missed opportunity live. In this episode, I break down why organizations struggle to move at the pace of the world around them, even when the need for change is obvious. We explore the real blockers slowing transformation: legacy technology, bad data, bureaucracy, internal politics, and cultures built for a different era. AI promises speed and intelligence, but without clean data, modern

January 13, 2026: In today's episode, five stories reveal why work is starting to crack under pressure. New data shows employee financial stress is no longer a personal issue but a measurable drag on productivity, just as healthcare costs surge and job mobility slows. At the same time, a major study finds AI is already doing 20–40% of the work in many organizations, yet produces inconsistent and low-quality results when left without human oversight. Research also shows that always-on expectations

In this episode, I sat down with Chipotle COO Jason Kidd to explore how culture actually scales through systems, standards, and leadership discipline.

Most organizations aren't shaping the future of work, they're chasing it. In this episode, I share what CHROs admit privately but rarely say out loud: HR has become reactive, stuck in firefighting mode, and focused on looking good instead of doing what actually drives results. Traditional HR metrics are backward-looking, accountability has eroded, and the pendulum has swung dangerously toward entitlement. This isn't about blaming employees. It's about restoring honesty, balance, and courage in

January 7, 2026: Nearly a decade ago, I wrote The Employee Experience Advantage to challenge organizations to move beyond perks, surveys, and surface-level engagement. Since then, employee experience has become a top priority—but in many cases, we've lost sight of what it actually means. In this episode, I share why post-pandemic workplace strategies focused on "giving everything to everyone" were unsustainable, how accountability and performance quietly disappeared, and why great employee

December 24, 2025: The systems we've relied on to organize work are starting to crack. In this episode of Future Ready Today, we unpack four stories that reveal how deeply work is being reshaped — often in ways leaders aren't prepared for. AI was supposed to make hiring fairer and faster, but instead it's flooding employers with indistinguishable candidates and eroding trust in the hiring process.
