In this episode of Firm Factor, we examine the $11.5 million discrimination judgment against the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and what it signals for organizations navigating compliance, accountability, and brand risk. Joined by new co-host Darin Fenn, we discuss how reputational trust can erode quickly when customer experience and ethical standards are deprioritized.
We also explore the growing use of AI in customer-facing roles, particularly in the legal industry, and question whether efficiency gains are worth the loss of human judgment and empathy. The episode closes with a clear takeaway: technology can support great service, but it cannot replace the people who make it meaningful.
