We’re all looking for ways to make our employees happier and more successful, right? That’s exactly what Zensai’s webinar, The AI Advantage: 5 Use Cases for HR Success, is all about. The session—led by Robin Daniels, Chief Business Officer, and Andy Roberts, Head of Products—emphasizes how AI can empower HR professionals, not replace them.  

Our webinar delves into the urgent need for HR to adapt its practices to foster deeper employee engagement. Live demos showcased the potential of Zensai’s Human Success Platform, an AI-powered solution designed to drive continuous improvement and mastery in daily tasks.  

At Zensai, we’ve made a very conscious decision to approach the use of AI from a human perspective. Needless to say, our human audience was buzzing with excitement. 

The HR struggle is real…but AI is here to help. 

We get it: low employee engagement, high turnover…it’s tough. Gallup data finds that only 23% of global employees are fully engaged at work, and the rest want to quit their jobs due to lack of career and skills development. Zensai’s webinar highlights the need for a paradigm shift to address these concerns and shows why the Human Success Platform is such a breath of fresh air. Here, we’ll discuss 5 significant use cases and scenarios for AI in HR. 

How to use AI in HR

1. AI as your new training assistant 

One of the most impactful AI use cases explored in the webinar is the AI assistant for learning and course creation. Imagine creating all those training courses, quizzes, and skills in a snap. The AI assistant takes your existing videos, PDFs, and documents and turns them into engaging learning modules that are also easy on the eyes.  

As Pavel Budnik, Zensai’s Product Manager notes, HR teams can have all the content they need for code generation in “less than a minute!” By reducing the time and effort that goes into course development, you’ll be free to focus on more strategic initiatives.  

2. Skills taxonomy? AI’s got this 

Keeping track of all the skills your company needs can be a headache, but a comprehensive skills taxonomy is key to identifying and nurturing top talent. Well, our AI comes to the rescue. In the webinar, Roberts explains how AI can analyze job descriptions and suggest relevant skills for different roles, helping HR teams quickly build and maintain a robust skills taxonomy. This way, you always know what you’re looking for (and where to find it).  

3. Managers, meet your AI coach 

Zensai’s webinar introduces AI coaching for managers, a tool that analyzes team dynamics and individual performance data, giving you real-time tips and insights on your team. Let’s say a manager is struggling with team roadblocks. The AI provides the manager with instant support, suggestions, and reflection points to help improve their communication and problem-solving skills. With AI’s contextual coaching advice, managers become more efficient and can better understand strengths, weaknesses, and how to get the best out of everyone.  

4. Team check-ins get a makeover 

Another Gallup study finds that employees are 2.7 times more engaged when they get feedback weekly. This is because the best performance reviews are underpinned by frequent, light-touch 1:1 conversations.  

At Zensai, we believe weekly check-ins are the heartbeat of employee engagement. Our AI-powered software combs through your ongoing check-in feedback to highlight team trends and call out potential issues. What’s more, sentiment analysis and an early warning system can help HR teams identify and address potential issues before they escalate, boosting team morale and creating a more positive and productive work environment.  

In our webinar, Roberts mentions how Zensai’s integration with Microsoft Copilot allows it to draw on data from the Human Success Platform, giving a more holistic view of employee learning and engagement trends. For example, a manager could ask Copilot to take their team’s temperature, and Copilot could scan the check-in feedback to give a comprehensive response. 

5. Performance reviews made easy 

Performance reviews…love them or hate them, they’re a part of HR life. But what if they could be less stressful and more insightful? Examples shared during the webinar demonstrate how an employee prepping for a performance conversation could leverage AI to summarize achievements and challenges from their check-ins throughout the year. AI can sift through all the data, generating a clear, unbiased picture of their performance. This AI-driven approach ensures a more objective and balanced review, reducing bias and leading to more meaningful conversations. Fair reviews, happy employees!  

The future of HR is bright (and AI-powered)

From automating course creation—like employee onboarding or compliance training—to providing real-time coaching for managers, AI is helping us work smarter, not harder. The enthusiastic response from our webinar underscores the growing recognition of AI’s ability to enhance human capabilities. As AI continues to evolve, we encourage HR leaders to explore AI solutions and empower employees to be their best.
