Most of us are already aware of the significance of human resource management, which covers everything from hiring to retiring. In the past, HRM has always relied on manual processes, which are not just time-consuming, but the possibility of human error always exists as well at the back end.
Just like anything else, AI is changing the landscape of HRM as well. The times are now gone when HR teams would go through resumes, check for attendance, or predict which employee would be the next to leave. We have AI today that’s reshaping HRM to allow businesses more efficiency, their employees more happiness, and overall to make better and smarter decisions.
There are so many other things too that AI is doing and that’s exactly what we’ll discuss in this blog post, so let’s dive in.
Better And Smarter Hiring
Hiring the right and relevant person for the job is difficult. Think about how hiring has always happened: a company would post a job, review hundreds (if not thousands) of resumes, conduct a lot of interviews, and hope to find the right person for the job. Well, AI is here to assist you with this.
- Resume screening: AI can help you scan thousands of resumes within a minute and only pick the ones that are closely aligned with your job description, saving you days of time if you’re a company that normally gets hundreds of applications for the job postings you do.”
- Chatbot interviews: more and more companies are now integrating a chatbot into their system for initial screening, asking the candidates relevant questions aligned with the job description. All these inputs are then reviewed before introducing an actual person for the actual interview. This greatly helps to filter out irrelevant or even spammy candidates who have been applying for jobs nonstop without making sure they’re the right person for the job.
- A lot less discrimination: AI can also help you avoid accidental bias or discrimination by focusing solely on the things that matter most for a job: skills, qualifications, experience, etc., and not names, genders, or backgrounds.
HR teams find themselves doing repetitive tasks all day long, such as processing payroll, managing leave requests, or simply answering basic questions that have already been addressed numerous times. The AI-powered system can handle all these dull and repetitive tasks, allowing your HR team to stay focused on actual strategic initiatives.
Automating Routine HR Tasks
HR teams find themselves doing repetitive tasks all day long, such as processing payroll, managing leave requests, or simply answering the most basic questions that have already been addressed countless times. The AI-powered system can handle all these dull and repetitive tasks, which will allow your HR team to stay focused on actual strategic initiatives.
For instance, we have a chatbot that can chip in and answer questions related to company policies, benefits, or payroll without needing human involvement.
Attendance and leave management systems can approve or reject leave applications based on company rules.
Payroll processing, which could be prone to human error, is now super accurate with AI doing calculations, tax deductions, and compliance checks for you.
Employee Retention
Keeping your employees happy, engaged, and motivated is important, not just for the success of your company but also for retention.
Using the tools AI provides, you can monitor workplace satisfaction and improve it.
We have sentiment analysis that takes into account an employee’s feedback, emails, survey responses, etc., to determine if they are dissatisfied or outright unhappy with the organization, allowing you to address these concerns before things escalate, like turnover in the worst case scenario.
AI can also help with personalized training programs. Employees can be recommended courses based on their interests, the skills they have, and the skills they want to excel at or acquire all the way from the beginning.
Finally, we have predictive analysis that can identify an employee’s likelihood of leaving the organization by studying patterns in their engagement, performance reviews, etc.
Decisions Based On Data
One shouldn’t take their experience for granted and make HR decisions based solely on intuition. Instead, these decisions should be taken based on facts.
Well, the good news is AI can assist you in this as well by providing analytics that offer deep insights into current workforce trends.
Performance analytics will track productivity, highlight top performers, and identify skill gaps in employees. These gaps can then be communicated to the individuals along with suggestions on how to improve.
The day a business starts making decisions based on objective data rather than assumptions and intuition is the day it begins to build a more transparent workplace.
Conclusion
AI-powered HRM systems are bringing huge changes by making hiring smarter and more efficient, automating dull tasks, and boosting employee engagement. That’s why businesses should be made aware of their significance and encouraged to embrace them, as the perfect time to adopt AI is right now, as I’m writing and you’re reading.
Can you think of any other ways AI is helping us in hiring or how we can use it to make hiring decisions more accurate and unbiased? Please share them with me.
