The Pay & Proxy Podcast: How HR Professionals Are Using AI
Given the risks associated with using AI in hiring, I’ve been curious for some time now about other ways HR professionals are leveraging AI (or experimenting with it) for information gathering, decision-making, and streamlining day-to-day tasks. So I was happy to see that topic addressed in the latest Compensation Best Practices Report, which shares the results of Payscale’s most recent broad and comprehensive survey of HR professionals. In this 23-minute episode of “The Pay & Proxy Podcast,” Amy Stewart, Manager of the Content & Research Team at Payscale, joined me to dive deeper and share her perspectives on the survey results. We discussed:
- The broad perspectives covered in the Compensation Best Practices Report
- How survey respondents are currently using AI or have in the last 6 months
- What motivated survey respondents to use or try AI for these tasks
- What AI tools HR teams are using
- The benefits they’ve seen / risks they’re worried about
- Respondents’ thoughts on AI for compensation benchmarking
- What’s holding nonusers back
- Strategic considerations for HR teams as workforces expand AI adoption
If you have insights on compensation and proxy disclosures you’d like to share in a podcast, I’d love to hear from you. Email me at mervine@ccrcorp.com.
