About the Webinar:
Just when we think we’ve got the people side of work (mostly) figured out, along comes AI to shake things up! For many in public sector HR and leadership roles, AI can feel both exciting and overwhelming. However, the truth is that we’ve already been using AI for years, often without realizing it. In this engaging and down-to-earth discussion, we’ll demystify AI and explore what it truly means for the future of municipal workplaces. Whether you’re just starting to explore the basics or already using AI in your day-to-day work, this session will blend practical knowledge with a touch of fun, demonstrating how AI can support hiring, engagement, and workforce planning in ways that are ethical, human-centered, and purposeful.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand core AI concepts including machine learning and automation and how they connect to everyday workplace challenges.
- Explore real, practical examples of how AI can enhance key moments in the employee lifecycle, from recruitment to retention.
- Explore strategies for effectively integrating AI and technology into HR processes to enhance organizational performance.
- Recognize the ethical considerations and guardrails that ensure AI remains a force for good in public sector organizations.
- Identify simple tools, prompts, and use cases that can make municipal HR processes more efficient and effective.
