Safeguard Global to tackle AI & HR risks in LinkedIn Live event

Safeguard Global is set to host a LinkedIn Live event focusing on the challenges of managing global workforce risks in the context of artificial intelligence adoption.

The event coincides with International HR Day and will examine the intersection of AI technologies and human resource management on a global scale. This year's theme, "Humanify AI," emphasises balancing technological advances with human judgement and expertise in overseeing international workforces.

As AI integration continues across sectors, human resources professionals are reporting new pressures to use automation while maintaining ethical standards and adaptability within their organisations. The event aims to address this dual challenge by discussing shifts in HR practice, from AI-powered recruitment workflows to the rise of virtual HR agents.

Katherine Loranger, Chief People Officer at Safeguard Global, highlighted the enduring importance of human contributions in the face of technological change. She said, "AI is changing how work gets done — but not why it matters. International HR Day is the perfect moment to celebrate the people behind the systems — the ones guiding organisations through both innovation and uncertainty."

The conversation is described as particularly timely for HR leaders currently navigating significant changes in the field. Recent developments, such as IBM's increased reliance on automation in HR roles and Moderna's strategy to combine HR with digital leadership, have illustrated that human guidance remains crucial despite technological advancements.

During the upcoming LinkedIn Live session, Loranger will be joined by Triana Palomo, Employer of Record (EOR) Customer Advisor at Safeguard Global. The discussion will cover several topics, including the evolving responsibilities of HR professionals as AI redefines traditional processes, the continued necessity for human-centred expertise, and the practical risks associated with global workforce management.

The event will also include insights into real-world scenarios where compliance and strategic planning play a critical role in successfully navigating the changing landscape of work. In addition, Loranger and Palomo are expected to discuss the EOR model's relevance as companies seek agility in an increasingly regulated and complex global labour market.

Safeguard Global's event, titled "Human When It Matters: Navigating Global Workforce Risks in an AI Era," will take place on the company's LinkedIn platform. Attendees are encouraged to follow Safeguard Global on LinkedIn for notifications about the event.

Safeguard Global operates in nearly 190 countries, assisting organisations with hiring, payroll, benefits, tax, and mobility functions while supporting compliance in diverse regulatory environments. The company's platform is supported by local experts who provide direct assistance in more than 65 countries.

The session is positioned as a forum for HR leaders, industry practitioners, and stakeholders interested in understanding the practical realities of AI adoption and risk management within multinational workforces. Topics will include safeguarding ethical standards, maintaining compliance, and the broader implications of automation for the human resources profession.
