"Connecting the dots" between previously disjointed HR processes has helped an organisation save hundreds of days of administrative effort each year, and dramatically improve its employee experience.
Prioritising workplace culture during a merger has meant an otherwise "hectic" transformation timeframe became a "seamless" transition, a chief people officer says.
Employers that take the time to "onboard" their AI tools will be far more likely to realise productivity gains than those taking an approach of "just roll it out and see what happens", a business intelligence specialist says.
Employers are investing heavily in AI-based transformations, but research suggests employees' perceptions about their work environments' innovation levels has reached an "all-time low".
Performance management is set to become less HR-centric, more continuous, and more cross-functional, according to an authority on KPIs who foresees employers using unprecedented amounts of data to make people decisions.
An organisation that has quickly grown to 1,000 staff, but until recently was still relying on spreadsheets to store and manage its people data, says a system overhaul took it "from zero to 100".
With AI now making some skills less valuable, knowledge workers should be "honing" their human skills, but they need leadership support, a data scientist says.
Implementing AI and other new technology only increases productivity if the time saved is put to good use, according to a workplace advisor calling for more strategic HR in this space.
An employer now using a "digital human" for its onboarding says the move has freed up HR's time while ensuring no crucial information is getting "lost".
AI has the potential to "reinvigorate the Australian workforce", but it could also increase employees' risk of psychosocial harm, a Parliamentary inquiry has heard.
