AI for HR – A Confluence of Intelligence
As an HR practitioner, you have to be smart. You have to stay abreast of not only best practices but also the latest requirements in labour law, industry dynamics, and the evolving role requirements for people with vastly different skill sets. This alone is a full plate.
But cognitive intelligence isn’t the only requirement. Beyond this, you must know how to connect with people, stay in tune with the general sentiment in your organisation, and ensure that the workplace is great for everyone. All the while, you need to meet business goals and take action when they aren’t achieved—this is the essence of social intelligence.
Now, technology has entered the mix as the third circle in the Venn diagram of human resource management. How does it fit into the existing structure? How do you introduce machines into an environment centred on people? And with the ongoing concerns about AI taking over jobs, how do you address these challenges in your organisation?
In today’s article, we explore how AI not only integrates seamlessly into HR but also enhances efficiency for HR teams. While the broader questions about AI’s risks and rewards continue to be debated, we’ll focus on the immediate benefits AI brings to HR.
