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.

Your organization may look like it’s moving: meetings are happening, plans are active, teams are pushing harder. But motion isn’t the same as progress.

Change fatigue often shows up quietly. Decisions slow down. Managers get overloaded. Adoption looks shallow. Then the cost starts to become visible in productivity, execution, and eventually the P&L.

In this episode of Piece of Work, host Eric Glass talks with Andrew Seaman, Editor at Large for Jobs and Career Development at LinkedIn News, and Deepa Abi, a transformation leader with deep enterprise experience, about what leaders miss when change looks fine in the boardroom but breaks on the front line. They dig into why workers are holding onto jobs out of fear, how fatigue turns into business risk, and where HR has the most leverage before the damage becomes financial.

If one of your most important leaders left tomorrow, who could actually step in? Not eventually. Not after a stretch assignment, a development plan, or six months of coaching. Tomorrow.

That’s where leadership pipelines get tested. In this episode of Piece of Work, host Eric Glass sits down with Wharton Professor Peter Cappelli and MCC Label CHRO Tatiana Berardinelli to examine why many organizations no longer develop future leaders with the consistency they once did, what gets exposed when succession plans don’t reflect real readiness, and how HR can rebuild leadership capacity before a critical role is suddenly empty.

In today’s leaner, flatter organizations, top performers don’t just drive results. They often carry structural weight. But when too much work, knowledge, and decision-making concentrates around a few indispensable people, talent density can quietly become talent dependency.

In this episode of Piece of Work, host Eric Glass sits down with Rebecca Kehoe (Professor, Cornell University) and Brandy Garnero (CHCO, Foundry Commercial) to explore how superperformers can create hidden enterprise risk — from execution bottlenecks and burnout to knowledge concentration and succession gaps — and what HR can do to protect business continuity without lowering the bar.

HR leaders have more workforce data than ever. But when metrics get questioned, dashboards create debate, and executives turn to the numbers they trust most, HR’s influence can take a big hit.

In this episode, Eric Glass sits down with Stacey Harris (CRO and Managing Partner, Sapient Insights Group) to explore why workforce data often breaks down under scrutiny, and what it takes for HR to deliver insights CEOs and boards actually trust.

HR transformation is easy to talk about in broad terms — agility, efficiency, reinvention. But beneath those ambitions are harder questions about leadership depth, execution risk, and the tradeoffs organizations may not fully see until it’s too late.

Season 2 of Piece of Work: a Dayforce podcast, premieres May 13. Host Eric Glass connects with top HR leaders and industry experts to unpack the hidden pressures shaping today’s toughest workforce decisions, and what they reveal about the changing role of HR at the highest levels.

Together, they examine what happens when organizations offload adaptation to employees, why the market might not correct fast enough, and where the consequences will ultimately show up for HCM leaders.
