Future of AI in HR: What Leaders Should Know

AI is becoming a key driver of workplace transformation, enabling organisations to personalise employee experiences, improve team performance and rethink how work gets done. According to Gartner research, 65 % of employees said they are excited to use AI at work, showing growing workforce readiness for AI enhanced processes, even as organisations work to deploy it meaningfully.

Despite the excitement, many HR leaders recognise that the full business value of AI is not automatic. Another Gartner survey found that 88 % of HR leaders say their organisations have not yet realised significant business value from AI tools, underlining the importance of thoughtful strategy and adoption planning.

AI-driven solutions are helping organisations transform workplace practices, improve employee wellbeing and build more resilient, future-ready teams.

In 2024, we were excited to join forces with Amelia Kallman, Leading London Futurist, Speaker, and Author, who addressed the 2024 AHRMIO Annual Conference, which was held in Rome at the end of October at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

Allianz Partners is a proud long-term partner of AHRMIO (The Association for Human Resources Management in International Organizations), supporting the conference through thought leadership and expertise and helping to connect HR professionals across international organisations.

Amelia enlightened and inspired attendees with her extensive research and insights on Artificial Intelligence (AI), and its potential impact on the future of business and our lives.

In her keynote speech, "AI & Us: The Future of HR", Amelia shared her latest research and insights into the impact of AI on mental health, the environment and sustainability, and on the future of work, leadership and HR.

Some of the key insights from Amelia’s keynote at AHRMIO included:

• Personalise employee services and experiences – AI will enable organisations to create more personalised and adaptive employee services, products and experiences, helping employees reach their potential while supporting engagement and productivity, with continuous reskilling and upskilling integrated across systems.
• Use AI as a project and team management assistant – AI is expected to expand from personal use into project and team management, acting as an assistant to humans to accelerate decision-making and speed things along.
• Optimise workforce design and planning – AI tools provide a 360° view of employees, teams, branches and organisations, empowering HR leaders to act as workforce architects and design high-performing, diverse and dynamic teams that drive competitive advantage.

AI is becoming an integral part of workforce management, so HR leaders need to plan how technology will support employees, teams and organisational goals. Preparing for AI in HR involves strategic upskilling, ethical governance and aligning AI initiatives with business objectives.

Key steps include:

Technology is evolving rapidly, and HR professionals play a pivotal role in integrating AI responsibly while keeping workplaces human centric. Organisations are increasingly exploring how AI can support employee experiences, improve team coordination and strengthen workforce strategy.

Looking ahead, AI is expected to expand beyond individual productivity tools into areas such as workforce planning, data-driven decision making and organisational design. These capabilities can help leaders better understand employee needs, optimise team structures and improve collaboration across global workforces.

Through our collaboration with AHRMIO, we will continue to share knowledge and expertise and to create new and innovative AI opportunities, all aimed at shaping a brighter future for humanity and technology.
