Most workforce planning still starts with a job, but work is changing too quickly for that model to keep up. Ravin Jesuthasan argues that HR can no longer operate only as a steward of employment. It has to become a steward of work, helping the business redesign how work gets done instead of just filling requisitions. Ravin, global transformation leader at Mercer and co-author of Work Without Jobs, explains why the real building blocks are tasks, skills, and machine capability, and why the organizations moving fastest are prototyping new operating models before everyone else catches up.

Most compliance failures don’t start with a lawsuit, a regulator, or a damaging headline. They start with a small decision, a missed update, or a process that quietly drifts out of sync with the business. In this episode of Piece of Work, host Eric Glass sits down with Courtney Vinopal, Senior Reporter at HR Brew, and Mark Bateson, Global HR and Payroll Transformation Leader at Deloitte, to explore how routine workforce decisions can evolve into major enterprise risk. They unpack why organizations miss early warning signs, how compliance gaps emerge as businesses move faster, and what HR leaders can do to strengthen governance, maintain visibility, and stay ahead of problems before they become public.

Frontline turnover rarely shows up in the financials first. It shows up in overtime, scheduling volatility, absenteeism, manager strain, and the slow erosion of service consistency.

In this episode of Piece of Work, Dallas Cowboys CFO Tom Walker joins host Eric Glass to examine the moment churn stops being an HR issue and starts becoming a business problem for Finance. The question isn’t whether turnover matters. It’s how early HR can surface the warning signs, and how quickly leaders can connect those signals to revenue risk before the damage is done.
