Episode 24: HR Reset for 2026

It’s Season 2 — and Marcia and Meghan are back with a fresh HR Reset for 2026. From “damp January” and espresso martinis to the serious stuff: what leaders actually need to focus on this year if they want to hit goals, keep great people, and avoid burnout. They dig into the big themes shaping HR right now: why most HR teams aren’t ready for AI, how culture is getting harder to define (and easier to lose), what “skills-first hiring” really means, and why HR has a huge opportunity to move from checkbox support to true strategic advisor. If you’re an HR leader, CEO, or people manager trying to make sense of AI, hybrid work, retention, and leadership development—this episode is your 2026 starting line. In this episode: AI in HR: why companies are behind and what to do next Skills-first hiring and the “quiet hiring” shift Culture, retention, and what hybrid work breaks (and can fix) Why leadership development is the real bottleneck Transparency, communication, and “the three C’s” CEOs need now 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with the HR friend who needs a reset.
