If you’re an HR team of one — or one of a few — you already know the feeling: you spend most of your week answering the same questions, chasing the same paperwork, and wondering when you’ll actually get to the work that matters.
The good news? AI isn’t just for enterprise HR departments with big budgets and dedicated tech teams.
In this session, we’ll cut through the hype and give you a practical, no-fluff playbook for using AI to reclaim your time, serve your employees better, and finally start working on HR strategy — not just HR survival. You’ll leave with a clear framework, real examples from companies your size, and a 90-day action plan you can start using the next morning.
Speaker:
Jay Polaki
Founder and CEO
Jay Polaki has spent more than 25 years in the trenches of global HR — leading, transforming, and occasionally rescuing HR functions across industries — and she’s arrived at one firm conclusion: HR teams are too talented to spend most of their week answering the same questions over and over.
As Founder and CEO of HR Geckos, Jay is on a mission to change that. She builds AI-powered tools that take the repetitive off HR’s plate — without losing the human touch that makes HR matter in the first place. She shares her perspective regularly in Forbes and HRD, hosts candid conversations with HR leaders worldwide on the HR Bytes podcast, and has been known to enlist her nephews in the very serious work of training GeckoBot, HR Geckos’ AI copilot.
