Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cortney Worle, Chief People Officer at Cafe Rio
Q: How is technology impacting the workforce, and what are you cautious about with AI?
AI is used behind the scenes for smarter scheduling and back-office efficiencies, but there is caution about biases in AI-driven hiring and the need to avoid over-reliance on tech in people decisions; governance and thoughtful rollout are emphasized.
Cortney Worle, Chief People Officer at Cafe Rio
Q: What strategies have proven effective to keep frontline employees engaged?
A combination of frequent recognition and compensation changes, ongoing dialogue through localized channels like Talk & Tacos, and ensuring systems (like scheduling) are mobile-friendly to reduce friction and improve the employee experience.
Cortney Worle, Chief People Officer at Cafe Rio
Q: What has been the biggest challenge leading a people function in a frontline, high-turnover context?
The biggest challenge is engaging a mobile, primarily entry-level workforce while finding and connecting with the right HR guidance, especially post-COVID when turnover was high and traditional office-based HR support wasn't always relevant.
Colette Brown, CHRO at Stony Brook Medicine
Q: What role does technology play in supporting HR and employees, and what has been learned from AI tools?
AI tools, including an HR chatbot, help with routine questions and processes, free up time for more complex work, and require ongoing monitoring and updates to stay accurate and helpful.
Colette Brown, CHRO at Stony Brook Medicine
Q: How has leadership training evolved at Stony Brook to address behavioral issues and ensure fairness?
They've developed homegrown training that emphasizes identifying specific behaviors over labeling individuals, uses exercises and role plays, and provides coaching on how to address performance and behavioral issues.
