We'll look at tools like Confirm and Culture Amp, which use AI to gather feedback and draft reviews. But here's the big question: can AI really replace the human touch in understanding and evaluating staff? We're also tackling the tricky side of ethics and how employees feel about AI-written feedback.

Listen in to hear her practical advice on what anyone can do to get an inside gig, like:

  • Work on cross-functional projects
  • Understand the skills you have and where the company is going to identify the potential match
  • Get curious: ask people what they do. Interview others to learn what they work on
  • Sell your boss on how your time and talent can be optimized
  • Seek inside gigs to learn in the flow of work, and more…
