Why Shouldn't HR be Replaced by Technology or AI?

It’s easy to envision a world in which robots dominate the workforce given how technology and artificial intelligence have transformed our lives and increased the efficiency of labor. But wait a minute, robots aren’t going to replace people in every situation just because they are more intelligent than people, especially when it comes to Human Resources!

 

Think about it, HR is all about people, and you can’t beat human intelligence . Sure, technology can help fastening the processes, but there’s so much more in HR that technology or AI can do.

Let’s break it down below:

 

Setting up Stage:

In a startup, HR isn’t just about hiring and terminating, it’s also about creating a space where people want to come to work every day. From finding the perfect office space to making sure everything is aligned with the government and country laws, HR plays a crucial role in shaping the whole workplace.


Looking for the Right Fit:

 AI can help shortlist through resumes and CV, but can it really understand what makes a candidate fit? HR professionals have the ability to read between the lines and find the perfect match for the team. And of course, when it comes to character and background checking the candidate. 

Keeping Things Running Smoothly:

 While technology can handle payroll and admin tasks, HR is the guardian of sensitive information. That’s a high risk for the company to trust their sensitive data with AI. As well as for the employees in company.

Creating a Happy Workplace:

We don’t live to work, we work to live and work isn’t just about the daily grind, it’s about feeling valued and connected. Happy employees are productive employees, As one quote say “Love your staff, so that your staff love your company”, and HR is the one to make that happen, whether organizing team-building activities, lending a sympathetic ear, or even match the company need with the staff need, to make sure that there’s a win-win for both sides.

Here are just some of the reasons HR should be the human based department and should not be replaced by technology or AI.  

So, while technology has its place, there’s still limitations and cannot substitute human work. But we don’t  know what the future holds, for now, let’s celebrate the power of people in HR!
