Written for the decision, not the headline.

Every other week, Dr. Jessica Kriegel, host of The CEO Daily Brief podcast, takes one force reshaping work — AI capacity, labor market signals, how organizations decide — and pressure-tests it against SHRM research, peer-reviewed studies, and her own conversations with the executives making the call. Recent editions have drawn on TIAA, KKR, BNY, ABM Industries, and Thrive Market.
