Organization Development Network of New York partners with Retensa to launch live AI challenges in HR event
To examine the influence of artificial intelligence and the challenges it presents for work culture, employee retention, and HR decision making, Organization Development Network of New York (ODNY) invited Retensa to collaborate on a unique in‑person learning event. ODNY will host the program, bringing together organization development practitioners, talent professionals, and People & Culture managers for “Retain or Refrain: Where to keep things human as AI takes root”, taking place on May 7.
The event prioritizes education, dialogue, and community exchange on the most transformational topic of our lives.
A Community Learning Experience
“OD professionals play a critical role in helping employers navigate AI with intention,” said Dr. Josh Elmore, President of the ODNY. “This event creates space for practitioners to learn from one another and examine these shifts through an OD lens.”
ODNY will lead the session using a World Café format, guiding participants through small group discussions that explore how AI affects employee retention, engagement, trust, and workplace culture.
Retensa will participate as a collaborating partner and begin the session with a brief framing introduction to ground the discussion in current retention realities and emerging AI use. The format encourages practical insight sharing and multiple perspectives, allowing participants to learn from one another’s real-world experience.
Where AI Supports Culture and Where Challenges Emerge
Through facilitated conversation and collaborative exploration, the event gives participants space to deepen understanding of how AI will shapes organizational culture and where careful judgment remains essential. By convening practitioners across roles and employers, ODNY aims to surface perspective that supports informed decision making, responsible experimentation, and healthier workplace outcomes.
The session reflects ODNY’s commitment to applied learning and Retensa’s focus on helping employers leverage the data they already have to navigate change. “With great data comes great predictability.” Says Retensa CEO, Chason Hecht.
