AI in HR ― The Path to Productivity
Hosted by IBM
HR professionals struggle to keep up with business demands as they are constantly diverted from strategic priorities while facing challenges like evolving employee expectations, labor shortages, and a widening skills gap. IBM realized significant productivity savings over two years by automating HR processes with AI, freeing up more investment toward innovation, talent, development – enhancing the entire employee value proposition.
Join this session to learn how to:
- Provide fast and efficient employee support
- Streamline new hire onboarding & accelerate talent acquisition
- Cultivate skills and confidence to maximise tool adoption
