Role Description

This hands-on course is designed for HR practitioners ready to use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Zapier, etc.) to streamline their most time-consuming tasks and strengthen the employee experience.

• How do I show ROI and connect AI initiatives to business goals?

• A strong portfolio of real-world HR use cases showing how AI or automation improved candidate experience, employee experience, communication quality, data insights, or operational efficiency.
• Ability to teach prompting techniques, responsible AI use, and content-generation best practices with clarity, nuance, and HR-specific examples.
• Experience guiding learners through hands-on, scenario-based work, especially in Zoom-based environments where live walkthroughs, demos, and interactive activities are central.
• Comfort working with HR datasets (engagement, pulse, performance, or qualitative data) and using AI tools to clean data, analyze trends, and craft insights for stakeholders.
• Familiarity with building lightweight HR assistants (custom GPTs or chatbot-style tools), including writing instructions, adding knowledge sources, and designing escalation rules.
• A strong ethical foundation and commitment to responsible AI use, including privacy, consent, bias awareness, explainability, and human-in-the-loop practices appropriate for HR.
• A growth mindset and deep curiosity about AI trends, staying current on evolving HR technologies, compliance considerations, and the future of AI in the workplace.
