The Art of the Possible: Practical AI and Automation Use Cases for HR

The Union

Human resources are undergoing a significant transformation, thanks to advancements in AI and automation. Traditionally manual HR processes work, but many HR professionals wonder, "How can AI and automation technologies be applied to my everyday challenges?" Chris Kraus and I discuss several HR-specific AI and automation applications, offering practical insights into real-world use cases.

Challenge: Navigating Complex Policies and Regulations

How AI Can Help: AI-powered tools like Krista act as knowledgeable assistants, instantly providing accurate answers to employee questions about your company policies, benefits, and regulations. This not only saves time for HR staff but also ensures consistency and accuracy in responses.

Employee Self-Service: Empowering Employees with Information

How AI Can Help: AI-powered self-service portals allow employees to quickly access the information they need providing accurate answers and guiding them through complex processes like leave requests or benefit enrollment. This empowers employees and frees up HR staff to focus on strategic initiatives.

Candidate Experience: Attracting and Hiring Top Talent

How AI Can Help: AI-powered tools can automate job postings, applicant screening, and interview scheduling, making it easier for candidates to apply and for HR or local management to identify the best fit. Additionally, AI can help tailor the candidate experience based on individual preferences and communication channels like SMS or omnichannel.

Recruiting and Tracking: Streamlining the Hiring Process

How AI Can Help: Krista orchestrates processes across different systems, automating tasks like resume screening, interview scheduling, and progress tracking. Having software run the process instead of people ensures a smooth and efficient hiring process rather than manually keeping track of all of the steps.

Employee Onboarding and Offboarding: Ensuring Smooth Transitions

How AI Can Help: Krista automates onboarding and offboarding workflows, ensuring that tasks like systems access, equipment setup, and paperwork are automated and accounted for. This improves the onboarding experience and reduces the risk of data breaches when employees leave.

Process Orchestration: Streamlining HR Operations

How AI Can Help: Krista orchestrates complex HR processes, combining multiple tasks into a streamlined workflow. For example, an employee can request vacation, and Krista automatically handles approvals, calendar updates, and notifications. This improves efficiency, reduces errors, and frees up HR staff for more strategic work.

Conclusion

AI and automation can alleviate many common bottlenecks in HR processes. Leveraging tools like Krista can help HR professionals streamline operations, enhance the employee experience, and focus on strategic initiatives that drive business growth.

Embracing AI is not just about efficiency; it's about empowering your workforce and adapting to the evolving landscape of work. As AI continues to advance, HR departments that leverage these technologies will be well-positioned to lead their organizations into the future.
