Why AI Belongs in Your HR Toolbox
As an HR professional, you can use AI to help write job descriptions, screen resumes, analyze employee sentiment, and even detect early signs of workplace issues.
Of course, you will need to use AI only as a starting point, and you’ll keep your voice and your skills at the center of everything you do, but AI can help with some tasks that you may find valuable.
AI can help automate repetitive tasks, analyze large amounts of data quickly, and offer predictive insights so that you can focus on the human side of Human Resources.
AI has the potential to:
- Reduce administrative burden
- Improve hiring and retention
- Provide faster insights for better strategic decisions
And the best part? You might already have access to the tools.
Get to Know the AI Tools You Probably Already Own
This course will walk you through tools you may already have and show you how to use them more effectively. Here are some ways you could use popular AI tools:
- ChatGPT (free version available): Draft HR policies, prepare FAQs for onboarding, and help outline employee communications.
- Microsoft Copilot (embedded in Word and Excel): Summarize reports, build formulas, and assist in data analysis.
- Google Gemini (embedded in Google Workspace): Support scheduling, writing, and real-time collaboration tasks.
In our course, you’ll learn how to use these tools for everyday HR needs.
Real HR Scenarios Where AI Can Help
