Overview	HR platforms continue to evolve with artificial intelligence starting to play a big role in solutions for several key HR functional areas. We will look at how using HR platforms can bring real benefits to not just HR administration but also to an organization’s employees. HR departments have a heavy burden when it comes to complying with all the federal guidelines for document submission, acceptance, retention, and confidentiality. We will look at how going paperless can ease this burden when platforms are used that automatically provide up-to-date forms and information about changes to the guidelines. We will also look at how some platforms can automate scheduling for such activities as health plan enrollment, interviewing, and performance management check-ins and reviews. There are also platforms that can simplify compensation planning and help with financial analysis of an HR department’s budget and expenditure. One of the great benefits of using HR platforms is the self-service capabilities they offer employees. As part of this review, the advantages that AI is bringing will also be examined. For example, AI can be used to write job descriptions, help employees find information on their benefits via natural language search and some 401(k) platforms provide AI generated retirement financial advice.
