Details

The AI "wait-and-see" period is over. AI tools are now embedded in recruiting, performance management, employee relations, and everyday workplace communication — and HR is caught in the middle, facing regulatory scrutiny from one side and daily judgment calls from the other. This session gives you both halves of the puzzle: the governance framework to audit vendors, protect data, and build a bulletproof AI use policy — and the practical, in-the-trenches guidance on when AI-generated communications create legal, employee relations, confidentiality, or credibility problems.

Key Areas:

·       Spot the danger zones in daily HR work —from recruiting and performance management, to investigations, employee relations, and terminations/ Plus, recognize when AI-generated content crosses into legal, compliance, or reputational risk.

·       Vet your vendors and evaluate AI tools and vendor contracts against a governance checklist.

·       Draft or assess an AI use policy that defines approved tools, prohibited uses, and escalation paths.

·       Identify documentation and retention requirements tied to AI-assisted employment decisions.

·       Assign ownership and guardrails for AI-assisted workplace communications.

·       Keep humans in charge of employee-facing and employment-related decisions.

 

Why You Should Attend:

AI is already part of everyday HR work—but using it without clear guardrails can create serious compliance, confidentiality, employee relations, and credibility risks. This session will help you move beyond simply “using AI” and start managing it responsibly across recruiting, performance management, investigations, terminations, and workplace communications.

You’ll learn how to evaluate AI vendors, protect sensitive employee data, establish practical AI-use rules, document AI-assisted decisions, and recognize when human judgment must take priority. You’ll leave with a clearer framework for using AI efficiently while reducing legal and workplace risk.

Who Should Attend:

This session is ideal for:

·       HR Managers and HR Directors

·       HR Business Partners

·       Talent Acquisition and Recruiting Professionals

·       Employee Relations Professionals

·       Compliance and Risk Professionals

·       Payroll and Benefits Professionals

·       Managers and Supervisors

·       Legal and Employment Law Professionals

·       Business Owners and Executives

·       Anyone involved in selecting, implementing, or using AI tools for employment-related decisions or workplace communications
