Will AI replace HR—or redefine it?

In an age of bold predictions and sweeping automation claims, The Last HR Department takes a grounded, thoughtful stance: while artificial intelligence is transforming the workplace, the future of HR still belongs—at its core—to humans.

As AI rapidly takes over repetitive and routine tasks, HR teams are being freed to focus on what has always mattered most: people, judgment, fairness, and long-term consequences. This book explores how AI is actually being used inside organizations today, moving beyond hype to examine real-world applications across hiring, onboarding, learning, performance management, and retention.

Rather than promoting fear or blind optimism, The Last HR Department offers a balanced, practical perspective. It highlights where AI genuinely adds value, where it falls short, and where it introduces new risks that demand human oversight. Readers will gain clarity on how HR roles are evolving, what skills will matter most in a machine-assisted workplace, and how leaders can responsibly integrate AI without losing the human core of their organizations.

Written for HR professionals, people managers, and business leaders, this book is a guide to navigating bold technological change while preserving trust, ethics, and humanity at work.

If you want to prepare for the future of work without losing the human heart of HR, this book is your essential next read.
