HR Tech Keynote Speaker: AI, Workforce Innovation & The Future of Work

Bridging the gap between human talent and AI efficiency to enhance recruitment, employee retention, and company culture in a digital-first world.

HR Technology Keynote Speaker: Leading the AI Revolution Without Losing the Human Touch

In the modern workplace, the greatest challenge isn't the technology itself—it's managing the people who use it. As the 'Human Tech Expert,' Burton Kelso helps HR professionals navigate the complex intersection of AI innovation and employee experience. Move beyond the fear of 'AI replacing jobs' and discover a practical roadmap to use automation for better recruitment, secure your department’s sensitive 'Digital Gold,' and foster a culture of digital wellness. Burton delivers the jargon-free insights needed to future-proof your workforce while ensuring that technology serves your people, rather than the other way around.

Why Book Burton for Your Next HR Conference or SHRM Event?

 

The AI Ethics & Bias Trap:

Algorithms are now screening resumes and predicting performance. I provide clear frameworks for the ethical use of AI in hiring to ensure compliance and prevent "algorithmic bias" from damaging your DE&I efforts.

 

The "Quiet Quitting" of Digital Fatigue:

In an always-on world, employees are burnt out. I demonstrate how to implement Digital Wellness strategies that use tech to create boundaries, increasing long-term retention and mental health.

Securing Sensitive Employee Data:

HR departments are a goldmine for identity thieves. I provide non-technical training to help your team protect PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and defend against sophisticated "social engineering" attacks.

The Mid-Level Management "Skills Gap":

AI is changing job descriptions overnight. I show HR leaders how to facilitate "Upskilling" programs that empower current employees to work with AI agents rather than being intimidated by them.

Culture in a Hybrid/Remote World:

Technology can either isolate a team or unite it. I teach people leaders how to use collaborative tools to build a cohesive company culture that transcends physical office walls.
