AI for Public HR Professionals
January 11
20, February 1 and 8 - 4 Sessions
About the Series
Human resources management is how government takes care of its people: how it finds them, welcomes them, helps them grow, pays and supports them fairly, and plans for the workforce it will need next. This series moves across the full range of public HR functions, from workforce strategy and the talent lifecycle to classification, compensation, and employee relations, looking at how AI tools can support the humans who do the work.
Throughout the series, our focus is on supporting people through technology deployment. AI has potential as a tool that supports HR professionals and the employees they serve, but can never replace the relationships, discretion, and accountability that public HR depends on. Sessions feature practitioners from state and local government, researchers, and workforce experts. They pair emerging practice with honest discussion of the risks around fairness, privacy, transparency, and trust.
Designed for government HR professionals, sessions can be taken individually, but together they build toward a fuller picture of AI across the public HR system.
All sessions will be moderated by Anita McGahan.
