HRHeadStart #79: Generative AI in HR; Career Operating System

Aug 22, 2023

The Talent Agenda

Generative AI continues to be the rage and I wrote about it earlier (primer, applications in HR). A recent survey of tech employees and tech HR employees showed that these technologies can help save HR employees 70 minutes a week by automating tasks related to candidate management, onboarding etc.

Check out this podcast from McKinsey on some key use cases of Generative AI for HR and the opportunities/risks we need to be mindful of.

Working Better

Today’s world of work offers many diverse ways to think about and manage your career. There is more information, frameworks and tools than ever before. And yet this can be intimidating. A typical career conversation with your manager can feel mundane (what are your career goals, what is the 5-10 year plan, what’s the next role for you etc.).

I really liked the idea of the Career Operating System, which is a structured set of mindsets and habits to enable purposeful career growth.

Tiny Thought

Opportunities just don’t come our way. We need to get in the way of opportunity.
