Phase 1 – Task & Workflow Design

Break C&B processes into benchmarking, design, administration, and communication. Assign AI to repetitive/data-heavy tasks (salary surveys, payroll compliance, benefits administration). Keep humans for fairness, culture, negotiation, and employee trust.

Phase 2 – Strategic Implementation Choices

Use AI for salary benchmarking, payroll compliance checks, and benefits automation. Retain human-led control in union negotiations, equity discussions, and employee recognition.

Phase 3 – Productivity vs. Risk Analysis

Quantify efficiency gains and accuracy improvements. Assess risks of bias, employee disengagement, or over-reliance. Build governance frameworks that balance AI efficiency with human empathy.

Assessment:

• Task: Design a workflow separating “AI Agent-led” vs “HR-led” processes.
• Deliverable: Workflow diagram + short justification.
• Outcome: Learners create balanced AI-human C&B workflows for sustainable HR.
