Event highlights & quotes
The role of AI in HR Is transforming — not replacing — humans
“AI helps us reclaim our time from admin tasks — not by replacing people, but by freeing them to do what they do best: Solving problems and engaging with people.”
— Katherine Loranger
HR is undergoing a fundamental redesign. AI enables teams to automate time-consuming tasks like engagement analysis or compliance workflows, but the human layer — strategic judgment, empathy, leadership — remains irreplaceable.
Global risk requires local expertise
“Technology helps you hire and manage — but local human touch makes it effective.”
— Triana Palomo
In nearly 190 countries worldwide, Safeguard Global guides organizations through the nuances of labor laws, payroll, and workforce compliance — delivering local insight where it matters most.
Purpose-driven work is a global magnet
“Don’t try to be everything to everyone. Instead, be crystal clear about your purpose — and the right people will find you.”
— Katherine Loranger
Global HR leaders are navigating cultural expectations and evolving definitions of “meaningful work.” Aligning company values with purpose can attract top talent across borders.
