Overview

The role of HR is evolving faster than ever. Today's professionals are expected to make decisions with speed, deliver content with precision, and create experiences that feel personal, all while navigating increasing complexity. Generative AI offers a way to meet those expectations not by replacing the human element, but by amplifying it.

The AI-Enhanced HR Professional is a two-day, hands-on AI course for HR practitioners designed for those who want to integrate AI into daily HR work. This workplace AI course for HR practitioners is built on Korn Ferry's extensive experience in workforce transformation and provides a practical framework for applying generative AI across the employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding to engagement, learning, and communication.

Throughout the course, participants experiment with structured prompting and real-world HR use cases to uncover how AI can accelerate content creation, analyse feedback, and tailor communications for different audiences.

By the end, you will have developed a ready-to-use toolkit of prompts, templates, and workflows that save time while improving the quality of your output. More importantly, you will leave with the confidence to use generative AI as a strategic ally, enhancing your creativity, expanding your capacity, and strengthening the human connection at the heart of HR.
