AI-NATIVE PEOPLE TEAM

Build the people team of the future

AI is changing how People teams operate. Surface gives leaders across the function the intelligence, benchmarks, and execution capacity to shape that change, not chase it.

The Challenge

People teams are being redrawn in real time

Org charts are flattening, remits are expanding, and every company is talking about AI transformation. Very few have decided how the People team should lead it.

The org chart is transforming

Organizations are flattening and managers are carrying broader spans, while few companies believe their structures can adapt as quickly as the business requires.

More remit, fewer people

People teams are being asked to lead AI transformation while taking on broader mandates, often without additional capacity or a clear operating model.

Tools without transformation

Most companies are training employees to use AI tools. Far fewer are redesigning the workflows, roles, and decisions that determine how work actually gets done.

USE CASES BY ROLE

What AI-native looks like, role by role

AI-native doesn’t mean a smaller team. It means every role operating with more leverage. Pick a role to see what work can move from days or months to minutes.

EXPERTISE BEHIND THE PRODUCT

Built on lessons from the people shaping modern work

Through conversations with leading operators, researchers, and executives, we bring current thinking on talent and organizational performance into how Surface interprets signals and recommends action. Here's what we learned from Erica Bourne, Chief People Officer at LSEG:

Erica Bourne

Chief People Officer, LSEG

AI change is a people change

LSEG treats its AI-enabled workforce as an operating model change. In Erica's words, it is fundamentally a behavior change.

Human at the helm

Not human in the loop. At LSEG, people stay responsible for judgment and context, and they stay accountable.

The people team goes first

Erica's team applies AI in learning, talent acquisition, and onboarding before it asks the rest of the business to change.
