The Rise of Predictive HR: Are You Ready? (Transform Spotlight Session)

At Transform, HR and People leaders are exploring one of the most important shifts shaping the future of the function: Why is HR still managing performance with backward-looking data… while many other business functions have already moved to predictive intelligence?

Sales has operated with predictive tools for years (Gong, Clari). Finance has long relied on forecasting. Yet much of HR, including performance management, is still driven by retrospective data.

And HR leaders are ready for that to change.

During a featured session at Transform, Sunita Solao (Chief People Officer, Upwork), Sarika Lamont (Chief People Officer, Vidyard), and Mark Schaerrer (VP of HR, Verisys) explore how their organizations are shifting from relying on retrospective insights to leveraging predictive performance management.

The result: stronger productivity, clearer decision-making, and improved organizational performance in an increasingly dynamic business environment.

Building on the ideas and conversations coming out of Transform, we’re hosting this follow-up session to explore these themes in more depth.

We’ll recap key insights from the workshop, share the session recording for those who couldn’t attend live, and dig deeper into the ideas that sparked the most discussion among HR leaders at the conference.

Sharthok (CEO, Klaar and former VP, People) and Lana (Chief Revenue & Customer Experience Officer, Klaar) will also share a practical, step-by-step playbook for HR teams, grounded in the conversations happening with leaders across the event.

You’ll walk away with real-world insights on how AI can be applied meaningfully to make performance and broader HR decisions more predictive.
