Nobody wants to get fired by a robot. When considering AI in HR, one of the most common concerns I hear from HR pros is the fear that AI will eliminate the human touch—the very thing HR was built on. In a world where interactions can feel increasingly impersonal, this is a valid concern. But here’s the distinction… If you use AI correctly, it should actually ENHANCE the human touch. Think about the core needs in HR: timely responses, accuracy, competence, and personalization. Historically, we've associated all of this with direct human interaction. But if we break it down, we realize most of these needs can be addressed by technology before reaching that crucial “last mile” of human engagement. Take employee dismissal or recognition—two areas people assume should never be handled by AI. We’d never want a bot firing someone or giving out recognition inauthentically. But think about everything leading up to those moments: - performance tracking - compliance checks - nudging managers to recognize great work These are all areas where AI can support back-office tasks, while still leaving the final, human touch intact. The goal isn't to automate empathy—it’s to free up time and energy so HR professionals can focus on what truly matters: delivering meaningful, personalized experiences when they’re needed most. — I’m Thomas Kunjappu follow me for all things AI in HR Operations!

In rapidly growing companies, the ops team is often small, sometimes just a team of one. When you're wearing all the hats, automation becomes a game-changer. Sahar Naim, sharing her experience from Branch, highlights the power of tools like Zapier. With automation, tasks like plugging in a new employee’s start date can trigger a series of events—scheduling, task assignments, and more—all happening seamlessly in the background. But here’s the catch: setting it up takes effort, and that’s where the challenge lies. Yet, once in place, it allows you to focus on delivering a great onboarding experience, even when resources are limited. Automation is not just about efficiency; it’s about enabling success in high-growth environments. Listen to Sahar Naim in our latest podcast episode to learn how automation can transform your onboarding process. ⬇ 🎙 https://lnkd.in/g5gGac6a 🎧 #Onboarding #Automation #HRExcellence #Growth #StartupCulture #AllOnboardPodcast #PeopleOperations #HRTrends

In our podcast episode 7, Sean Vader shares how his experience in Stripe’s onboarding process is designed to get new hires up to speed quickly—without sacrificing quality. At companies like Stripe, onboarding is about more than just getting new hires up to speed quickly—it’s about doing it with intention and focus. Stripe’s “Spin Up” program is designed to ensure that new employees don’t just learn the ropes but truly connect with the company’s mission, culture, and people. The process is deliberate: while speed is important, the focus is on creating meaningful connections and providing the necessary tools for success. In fast-growing environments, it’s easy to fall into the trap of rushing onboarding to meet aggressive timelines. But without a structured approach, you risk leaving new hires feeling disconnected and underprepared. Why it matters: Successful onboarding isn’t just about moving quickly. It’s about creating a thoughtful, structured process that balances speed with depth, ensuring that new hires feel both prepared and connected. Don’t just rush through onboarding—take the time to do it right, and you’ll set your team up for long-term success. 🎧 Curious to hear more?
