The Rise of AI in HR: What You Need to Know to Stay Ahead of the Game

As technology continues to advance, it's becoming more and more evident that the future of HR lies in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI).

AI has already made significant strides in various fields, and HR is no exception. From hiring to employee retention and everything in between, AI is revolutionizing how we do business.

However, the use of AI in HR raises several concerns, such as privacy, ethics, and the potential for bias. It's essential to create policies that address these concerns while reaping the benefits of AI.

In the While We Were Working Section, Sommer and I explore the implications of AI on HR policies and provide tips on how to prepare for its integration.

In the Consultants Corner, we answer a question we received regarding the importance of an employee handbook and whether you should use a wizard to create it.

Creating an employee handbook is an essential part of managing a business. A handbook lays out the expectations and guidelines for employees and can help ensure everyone is on the same page.

While it may be tempting to use pre-made templates or wizard tools, the potential risks and pitfalls are too great to ignore.

With a customized handbook that reflects your business's unique culture and values, you can ensure that your employees have the tools they need to succeed while protecting your business from potential legal issues.

Tune in as we explore these topics in this episode!
