Is parental leave the biggest example of hypocrisy in the workplace and does the corporate ladder actually favor the child-free? Do companies truly accomodate diversity of employee' lives, or are we witnessing a silent hierarchy where parental responsibilities are granted a higher status over other personal commitments? And are we bartering human empathy for HR efficiency with the rise of HR Tech? These questions ignite a fiery discussion on this episode of HR Debatable.

This week's guests: Sophie Hedestad, the visionary CEO and founder of NOQX, and Noah Warder, the esteemed VP People and Culture at Accent Inns.

The statements debated:

1. "Parental Leave is the biggest example of hypocrisy in the workplace"
2. "Parental Preference is real: nursery runs are more important than yoga classes"
3. "HR Technology takes the Human out of HR practices, eliminating human interactions and empathy from the workplace"
