Artificial intelligence has huge potential to transform HR practices and workforce decision-making, but many programmes remain stuck at pilot stage or fail to prove genuine financial impact. Successful AI initiatives require a deep understanding of measurable business outcomes – whether through cost savings, productivity gains, or enhanced talent strategies. With budgets under scrutiny, HR must speak the language of performance, ensuring investment in AI-based tools is backed by clear metrics and aligned with overarching organisational priorities.
