Featuring scholarly and practitioner insights from HR and people leaders, industry experts, and researchers.

In this HCI Webinar, I talk with Lea Greene about her book, "Don't React, Act: Business Crisis Communication Made Simple." Lea Greene spent her Air Force career telling the truth on deadline. As a broadcast journalist for American Forces Network, she reported from Korea, Germany, Bosnia, and Iraq. She later served seven years as a base spokesperson with final release authority over worldwide RQ-4 Global Hawk operations. Today she helps business leaders stay human, think clearly, and build trust in an AI-driven world. She owns Top Ten Communication and she teaches AI to business owners, chambers, and public information officers. Her message to leaders is short. Every hard moment is a communication moment. The tools keep changing. The trust problem does not.

This research examines the complex relationship between job boredom, burnout, and work engagement, arguing that these states often coexist in distinct psychological profiles rather than acting as isolated experiences. Drawing on a significant 2026 longitudinal study, the research highlights how workplace boredom is a dangerous precursor to cynicism and severe disengagement if left unaddressed by leadership. The research identifies role conflict as a primary driver of poor well-being, while emphasizing that learning opportunities serve as the most effective defense against professional stagnation. To combat these issues, the research advocates for evidence-based strategies such as proactive monitoring, meaningful job design, and fostering a culture of continuous growth. Ultimately, the research provides a framework for organizations to move beyond one-size-fits-all wellness programs toward precision interventions that address the multi-dimensional nature of employee health.

This research explores the necessity of ethical governance and human accountability when integrating artificial intelligence into human resource management. Drawing on research from Thailand, the author argues that organizational readiness depends more on transparent decision-making and practitioner capability than on technical enthusiasm alone. The research emphasizes a framework of accountable adoption, where deployment is contingent upon evidence of safety and the ability of staff to critically evaluate AI outputs. By examining case studies from banking and healthcare, the research illustrates how proactive oversight and stakeholder protection can bridge the gap between AI's potential and its responsible use. Ultimately, the research suggests that justified confidence in technology is only possible when human oversight and clear responsibility remain central to the process.
