Five days to secure your seat at the July 22 CPO Roundtable, AI Skills Defined: A Practical Framework for CPOs Building Their AI-Ready Workforce.

75% of decision-makers expect AI proficiency to be a baseline job requirement within 24 months. The CPOs and CHROs already building toward that are investing in clarity now: a shared definition of AI skills, role-by-role visibility into readiness, and org structures designed for what's next.

Anthony Onesto, Principal, AI & People Solutions at livingHR, and Dr. Kenneth Matos, Ph.D., Director of Market Insights at HiBob, are bringing a practical, immediately usable framework to this conversation.

Candid conversations. Peer connection. Real takeaways. This is one worth clearing your calendar for.

July 22 | 12–1 PM ET | Seats are limited.

The most forward-thinking CPOs are asking a bigger question about AI readiness: not just "do our people know how to use AI?" but "is our org structure built to support it?"

That shift, from AI as a tool to AI as a way of working, is a people strategy opportunity. And it's the intersection livingHR and HiBob were built for. People strategy meets skills intelligence to show exactly which roles are ready to be elevated for what's next.

On July 22nd at 12 PM ET, Anthony Onesto and Dr. Kenneth Matos, Ph.D., are bringing this conversation directly to CPOs in a format built for candid peer exchange and real takeaways.

Tomorrow we celebrate the 4th of July. Days like this remind us to pause, appreciate the people around us, and show up for each other a little more intentionally.

From our team to yours, we hope you get to rest, recharge, and spend time with the people who matter most.

Happy Independence Day.

Everyone is talking about AI skills. Fewer people can define them.

The CPOs and CHROs getting ahead of this are now building a clear definition of what AI readiness looks like by role, by function, and by what someone should actually be able to do. That clarity leads to smarter hiring, better training investment, and org structures ready for what's coming.

On July 22 at 12 PM ET, we're bringing together two of the sharpest minds at this intersection:

Anthony Onesto, Principal, AI and People Solutions at livingHR. Former CPO, COO, and President. Working at the intersection of AI and HR before it was a mainstream conversation.

Dr. Kenneth Matos, Ph.D., Director of Market Insights at HiBob. Cornell ILR. GWU doctorate in I/O Psychology. Leads global research on workforce trends and the future of HR.

Practical framework. Exclusive to CPOs, CHROs, and senior people leaders. Seats are limited.

Meet Samantha (Sam) MacKinnon, Sr. Director of Operations at livingHR! Sam is the person keeping all the plates spinning at livingHR. From financials and vendor management to cross-team collaboration and AI development, she has a hand in just about everything that makes the agency run.

Sam attended the University of South Florida and Southern New Hampshire University, where she studied education. She has spent the last 13 years growing right alongside livingHR, building deep expertise across operations, technology, and everything in between.

Her superpower? Figuring it out. Sam loves digging into new platforms and technology, and with livingHR's commitment to staying ahead of the curve, she gets to do exactly that, finding ways to make every new tool work for the whole team.

We are proud to have Sam's curiosity, resourcefulness, and operational expertise on the livingHR team!

Today, we pause to honor Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and a defining moment in the long arc of freedom and justice in this country.

At livingHR, we believe that building workplaces where every person belongs and can fully contribute is not a program or an initiative. It is the work. Every day.

To our team, our community, and everyone who carries this history forward: we see you, we honor you, and we remain committed to building a future of work that reflects our shared humanity.

We are thrilled to officially welcome Anthony Onesto, Principal, AI & People Solutions, to livingHR.

Anthony brings 20+ years of operator experience to the intersection of AI and people strategy. He has scaled organizations from startup to enterprise, including serving as Chief People Officer for a consumer insights platform where he helped drive 200%+ revenue growth. He is also a published author and one of the most thoughtful voices in the space on what it actually means to build a workforce ready for AI.

As our Founder & CEO Keri Higgins-Bigelow puts it: "Anthony brings what almost no one has yet: years of real experience on both the tech and people sides of AI. He simplifies the complex, creates value responsibly, and holds ethical standards as non-negotiable. He is one of the few doing this right."

He joins us to lead our AI & People Solutions practice in helping organizations build the people foundation their AI transformation actually requires.

We could not be more excited to have him in this work with us. Welcome, Anthony.

June is Pride Month. At livingHR, belonging is not a program or an initiative. It is how we operate, and it has been since 2009.

We believe people do their best work when they feel respected, valued, and safe to show up as themselves. Not as an edited version. Not as a performance. As who they really are.

That belief shapes how we work alongside our clients to design experiences, systems, and cultures where people with different backgrounds, perspectives, identities, and life experiences can fully contribute.

A few resources worth bookmarking:
The Trevor Project https://hubs.li/Q04kW-HD0 — crisis support and su***de prevention for LGBTQ+ youth
PFLAG https://hubs.li/Q04kXnzZ0 — support, education, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ people and their families
Out & Equal https://hubs.li/Q04kYRFn0 — tools and resources for building LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace

This month and every month, we stand with and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. To our team members, clients, and partners who are part of this community: you belong here, and we are grateful you are here.

The people behind livingHR show up every day with intention, care, and a genuine commitment to making work better for others. This month, we want to turn that spotlight inward.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and one of the most powerful things an organization can do is model what it preaches.

We asked our team two questions: "What does a wellbeing-prioritized workplace mean to you, and what's one thing about working at livingHR that supports that?" and "What's one small thing you do, or that someone on this team does, that makes work feel more human?"

Their answers reminded us exactly why we do this work. Swipe to hear from the humans behind livingHR.

We talk about human-centered workplaces because we build one every day from the inside out. That starts with recognizing the people who make this work possible.

To the livingHR team: you are not just colleagues. You are the reason 5 million+ humans have experienced a better version of work. That does not happen without you.

Recognition is not a once-a-year gesture. It is a culture. And we are proud to say it is one we live here.

Tag a teammate below who brings that energy every day.
