2019 HR Forum Events Brisbane Done and Dusted… Bring on the 2020 Events Calendar!

It has been a great year partnering with HR professionals to identify hot topics in the marketplace and sourcing specialist presenters to share knowledge, information and ideas on what can be done to find a solution, offer suggestions and help drive change. This year we have held eight HR forums in Brisbane where we covered a variety of topics including:

  • Casualisation of the workforce
  • Managing Illness in the workplace
  • Unfair Dismissal vs General Protection Claims
  • Wellness in the workplace
  • What we can learn from the 2019 cases / claims

I have thrived with the opportunity to sit around a table of HR professionals from a very diverse range of industry sectors and hear their challenges, opportunities and success stories. Having limited seats means we get to keep it interactive / collaborative, where HR professionals are comfortable to share their industry challenges but also their best practices to help and support others. I would like to thank Jonathan Mamaril | NB Lawyers for Employers who has presented at several forums this year, focusing on legislation changes, requirements and updating us on current cases. In addition, Donna Benjamin , whose true passion for wellness and balance shines through in her approach and attitude for her presentation on Wellness in the workplace.

We look forward to the 2020 calendar where we will be working with our existing presenters and adding several new ones to ensure we are keeping abreast of changes, challenges and best practice in the marketplace.

If you are an HR professional based in Brisbane and would like to be notified of upcoming HR forum events, please reach out to the people2people team and we can update your details and ensure you receive the next invite!

Introducing AI in the workplace

By Renagi Ingram • 09 Jul, 2023
2023 has seen an significant rise of workplaces introducing A.I. into their workplace with tools such as Chat GPT becoming more utilized in day to day tasks. In recent years, AI has made significant advancements and is now being effectively applied across diverse industries, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and logistics. While there has been some resistance from employees who may fear for their jobs relevancy , organizations are increasingly embracing artificial intelligence tools and analytics. What are the benefits of A.I. in the workplace? Increased Efficiency and Productivity AI can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing employees to focus on more complex and strategic activities. By streamlining processes and reducing manual labor, AI technologies can significantly enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace. Enhanced Customer Experience AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can deliver personalized and round-the-clock customer support. These AI systems can provide instant responses, address customer queries, and even handle transactions autonomously. By improving response times and offering tailored experiences, AI can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. Cost Reduction AI technologies can help reduce operational costs in various ways. By automating manual tasks, businesses can decrease labor expenses. AI can also optimize resource allocation, supply chain management, and inventory control, minimizing waste and optimizing efficiency. Additionally, AI can identify areas of potential cost savings through data analysis and process optimization. However in a recent people2people social media poll, it was revealed that 52.6% of workers in Australia find that since introducing A.I. into the workplace, their job has become worse/more difficult. Despite the rise of popularity, this indicates that there is still some hesitancy amongst the majority of people. What are the disadvantages of A.I. in the workplace? Job displacement AI automation can make certain job roles redundant, leading to unemployment and necessitating new skill acquisition. Ethical biases AI systems can perpetuate biases if trained on biased data, resulting in unfair treatment or discriminatory outcomes. Lack of human judgment AI lacks the nuanced decision-making abilities of humans, potentially leading to flawed decisions and a lack of ethical considerations.
