Case Study:
Gen AI for Human Resources
Objectives
Alpha Matica was mandated by a global conglomerate to explore the potential of Generative AI in streamlining HR operations. The primary goal was to automate routine tasks while ensuring the "human-in-the-loop" principle remained central, thereby enhancing efficiency without compromising on the crucial element of human judgement and decision-making.
This collaborative initiative with the data privacy officer aligns with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the upcoming EU AI Act, demonstrating a commitment to data privacy.
Ways of Operating
Alpha Matica, leveraging its deep expertise in data analytics and AI, partnered with HR managers and integrated with existing HR systems to identify and automate a range of HR activities. The project was conducted with the following focus areas:
-
Data Collection and Analysis: Alpha Matica collected and analyzed vast amounts of HR data (policies, surveys etc…)
-
AI Model Development: Generative AI models were developed on the collected data to automate specific HR tasks. To enhance the context for answer generation, a tailored RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) approach was devised.
-
Human-in-the-Loop Integration: The AI models were designed to work in conjunction with HR professionals, providing them with insights and recommendations while leaving the final decision-making to human experts.
-
Use Case Implementation: The following use cases were automated with a focus on human oversight:
Onboarding:
Automated generation of onboarding documents and checklists.
AI-powered virtual assistants to guide new hires through the onboarding process.
Performance Management
Automated performance review scheduling and reminders.
Insights on macro employee's performance trends.
Learning and Development
AI-powered recommendations for learning paths.
Automated content creation for training modules.
Employee Engagement
AI-powered sentiment analysis of employee's feedback.
Automated generation of employee surveys and pulse checks.
Drafting of communication.
Outcome and Benefit
The implementation of Generative AI in HR resulted in significant improvements across various metrics:
Time Savings: A 30% reduction in time spent on manual HR tasks.
Efficiency Gains: A 25% increase in overall HR efficiency.
Improved onboarding Experience: A 20% increase in candidate satisfaction scores.
Enhanced Employee Engagement: A 15% increase in employee engagement scores.
The "human-in-the-loop" approach ensured that while AI automated routine tasks, HR professionals were empowered to focus on strategic initiatives and building meaningful relationships with employees.
Conclusion
Alpha Matica's successful implementation of Generative AI for HR demonstrates the transformative potential of AI in streamlining HR operations. The project underscored the importance of the "human-in-the-loop" principle in ensuring that AI augments human capabilities rather than replacing them. Alpha Matica's expertise in data analytics and AI, combined with its commitment to human-centered design, positions it as a leader in driving innovation in the HR space.
