HR, We have a Problem: Live from the Cornerstone Rooftop at HR Tech

Episode description In this special edition of HR We Have a Problem, recorded live at HR Tech, Cliff Stevenson and Stacey Harris sat down with Cornerstone’s Chief Marketing Officer Mini Peiris and Guna Jayaraman, who leads product strategy and technology. They recorded from the top of Cornerstone’s double-decker booth, and Cornerstone used the conversation to break news on two launches. The first is Workforce Planning, which builds on the Workforce AI foundation Cornerstone introduced in May. It treats planning as a skills and capabilities conversation rather than a headcount exercise. The second is Agent Ready, a governance layer that continuously evaluates every AI agent in your organization against your policies, your data permissions and the conduct you expect from your people. Together they talk about why technology is a commodity and people are the winning recipe, and why HR should manage AI agents as carefully as it manages employees. They also explain why the best AI strategies start with the outcome you’re after instead of the tool. If you couldn’t make it to HR Tech, consider this your VIP access.
