AI for HR Teams: Practical Uses That Save Time
HR teams spend hours on writing, summarizing and answering the same questions. AI can take much of that work and give HR more time for people.
Practical uses of AI for HR teams include drafting job descriptions and interview questions, summarizing employee survey comments, creating onboarding checklists, drafting policy summaries in plain language, answering common employee questions, preparing for difficult conversations and outlining training. HR should keep people decisions with people, protect employee data and check AI output for bias and accuracy.
Employees want guidance on AI, and HR is often where they look. Gallup found that in organizations adopting AI, only 36% of employees strongly agree their manager supports their team’s use of it. HR teams that use AI well themselves are better placed to help everyone else.
