As AI reshapes the modern workplace, human capital (HC) professionals are stepping into a dual role—as adopters and enablers of transformation. The new report, Transforming Work: A Human Capital Approach to AI Adoption, explores how HC leaders are redefining work, talent, and training through responsible AI integration.
AI in Talent Acquisition
Recruiting teams are leading the way, using AI to streamline scheduling, automate outreach, and reduce burnout. According to Eightfold, AI improves candidate matching by identifying adjacent or missing skills often overlooked by traditional search tools. SAP SuccessFactors adds that this shift allows recruiters to act more like strategic talent advisors—focused on preparing new hires for long-term success.
Smarter, Adaptive Training
AI is transforming workforce development through personalized, scenario-based learning. Planet Technologies emphasizes how adaptive modules and real-time feedback help retain knowledge, close skills gaps, and ensure mission readiness. AI also enables knowledge capture and job reassignment, helping institutions retain institutional memory and support workforce reintegration.
Safer, More Compliant Workplaces
AI supports compliance and safety efforts by tracking real-time data, automating restriction management, and proactively flagging potential risks. Sodales highlights that agencies can reduce legal exposure and protect employees by addressing issues before they escalate into safety violations or grievances.
Designing the Future of Work
With AI tools offering dynamic workforce insights, HC teams are driving internal mobility and role redesign. This includes building AI literacy beyond technical skills—encouraging collaboration between humans and machines to create work that is not only more efficient but more meaningful.
