Application of Chatbot for Human Resources - Blog 06

What is Chatbot?

Chatbot is a computer program that replaces human-human conversations with human-machine

 conversations. The recent integration of  AI into chatbots greatly impacted all aspects, such as Natural

 Language Processing (NLP), which could understand questions even without proper grammatical order.

(Coursera,2024).


Implementing Chatbot for HR


The rapidly changing and busy work environment requires technological implications to streamline the

 processes and improve work quality. HR departments are also practicing this to provide employees a

 better experience such as virtual assistants that automate responses to common HR queries, support

 employees, and increase performance.


HR departments face challenges with highly repetitive inquiries, slow recruitment processes, inefficient

 onboarding low employee engagement, etc. Many employees tend to ask the same question again and

 again though they get the answer every time. Without a clear onboarding process, new hires may

 face confusion with a poor first impression of the company. All these issues can be assisted by Chatbot

 without requiring HR personnel involvement. The AI chatbots can answer frequently asked or repeated

 questions instantly, schedule interviews according to the work plans, onboarding new employees

 with customized programs, and send reminders for training and events to relevant parties. These will

 reduce the unnecessary workload, work pressure, and time consumption in the HR department.

(Insighto.ai,2024).





Benefits of an HR Chatbot

AI chatbots are available anytime and can be accessed through any device so that employees get instant

 answers reducing the workload of HR.

It can reduce the waiting time by giving employees a satisfactory experience in company operations. 

Automating onboarding tasks ensures new hires have access to essential information accurately.

Chatbots reduce the need for personnel to handle the same and repetitive queries and many more HR

 job replacements are happening with AI chatbots which reduces the operational cost of the company.

Furthermore, it can analyze employee interactions and provide HR with valuable insights to

 improve policies and processes.


Steps to be followed to implement HR Chatbot 

  • This requires mainly defining the objectives of HR functions that need to be handled by Chatbot like
    •       leave requests, payroll inquiries, etc. 

  • Then choose the right platform that is compatible with HR software and design intuitive dialogue

 structures that ensure employees receive clear and accurate instructions.

  •  The integration with existing HR databases for real-time retrieval needs to be ensured and finally needs to be tested and optimized.

    AI chatbots in HRM enhance efficiency by automating tasks like answering FAQs, scheduling, and providing 24/7 support. They improve the employee experience with personalized, instant assistance while reducing biases in recruitment.
