In this episode, the crew discussed how AI can transform employee onboarding and training.
They covered topics including:
- Using chatbots and personalized learning plans to improve onboarding.
- Leveraging gamification and virtual/augmented reality for interactive training.
- Enabling small companies to buy "off-the-shelf" AI training tools.
- AI as a post-boarding mentor that adapts to employee needs.
- Concerns about losing human connections and onboarding becoming impersonal.
- Importance of changing company culture to value onboarding before implementing AI.
The consensus was that AI enables highly tailored onboarding but risks being ineffective if done as an automation afterthought. The key is integrating human connections with AI's personalization capabilities.
