There's a big difference between leading-edge and laggard HR teams when it comes to AI adoption, but many practitioners might be pleasantly surprised by where they sit on the spectrum, an expert says.
Too much focus on digital technologies could advance workplace productivity "at the cost of human meaning", according to a research team now urging "a more proactive HR response".
Too many HR practitioners aren't able to answer critical questions about the workplace decisions being made or influenced by their AI tools, technology and employment law specialists warn.
It's relatively rare for discrimination claims to proceed to a final hearing at the federal level, but some recent decisions provide "really valuable guidance for employers" on how courts are interpreting these laws, a workplace lawyer says.
Using AI to prepare workplace complaints and responses to allegations led to an employee's "demise", the Fair Work Commission has found, in upholding his dismissal for misconduct.
Confusion about who should own AI adoption in organisations has the potential to impact HR's perceived ability to drive productivity improvements, a new report suggests.
Employers should expect to face much closer scrutiny of how they use AI tools in hiring and other employment decisions, in light of a class action against a recruitment software provider.
Reframing leadership as a "trust-based, outcome-oriented practice" has helped managers at a newly-hybrid company to lead more efficiently and effectively, according to researchers who studied the transformation.
The Fair Work Commission will soon require employees and witnesses to disclose whether generative-AI has helped with their applications, under penalty of imprisonment for making false or misleading statements.
All employers should consider putting in place a workplace s-xual harassment prevention plan, even though such plans are only expressly prescribed in one jurisdiction, according to a risk management expert.
Recent events have shone a spotlight on whistleblowing, placing employers firmly on notice that their response to a protected disclosure could be subject to intense scrutiny. Watch this webcast to understand the role HR plays in this challenging space.
