arris’ key question was the value of humans in the age of automation and how we adapt to a new way of working. These are fundamental and important


questions about the role of technology, the future of work, and the way in which people and software interact. It is a question which Relocate Global has been highlighting in our Global Leaders Forum in London earlier this year. In the Forum, Fiona Murchie, Relocate‘s publisher and managing editor, brought together senior global mobility leaders, HR professionals, educators, destination service providers, tax and immigration specialists and strategists. She asked attendees to think about the political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental changes which would challenge and change their business over the next five years. The lively discussion yielded insights on the importance of collaboration, upskilling,


and using automation for repetitive tasks, and how we should save the human element for key interacts and relationship building. Echoing these themes, Harris told CIPD conference


delegates: “You are at the front line of transformation in the biggest shift in work since the Industrial Revolution. You are at a critical moment in time.” Harris spent a decade as a trader for Goldman


Sachs, after which she moved on to lead sales in a number of technology companies where she achieved significant scale, including at Dropbox, CarGurus and Gong, an AI platform, and moved on earlier this year to her current role as VP for EMEA for Rippling, the HR technology company. “In the age of AI and automation, you are the ones


ensuring we don’t lose our humanity in this process” she told delegates. “You are the guardians of workplace culture, and that is why what you do matters so profoundly.”
