    HR professionals will see explosive growth in their use of artificial intelligence (AI) over the next five years, according to new research by HR.com. This growth will not only transform HR technologies but will have a major and perhaps unsettling impact on the workforce.

    Now available for download, the HR.com infographic, AI in HR Today and in Five Years, is based on responses from 995 HR professionals participating in a survey fielded in August and September 2017. The full research whitepaper will be available on the HR.com website in mid-November 2017.

    Most respondents still have much to learn about the topic of using AI for the purpose of enhancing the HR function, with just 8% strongly agreeing they are knowledgeable in this area. One reason for this is a lack experience. Only 7% use AI for HR purposes to a high or very high degree today.

    By 2022, however, over five times as many (39%) predict their organizations will make heavy use of AI, and the number rises to 57% among HR professionals who consider themselves knowledgeable about AI.

    “Those who understand AI best also predict the highest AI usage levels over the next five years,” said Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com. “AI algorithms will be integrated into a wide array of HR-focused technologies. The main problem won’t be a lack of AI apps, however, it will be that HR pros must become savvy enough to separate hype from reality.”

    The ability to improve analytics is what HR professionals want most from AI, followed by the ability to predict and personalize. Analytics tools span across HR functions and can allow HR professionals to quickly gain insights about everything from employee retention risks to engagement levels.

    AI will also have an impact on the workforce outside the HR function. Nearly twice as many HR professionals (27%) envision AI-related technologies causing a net loss in jobs rather than those predicting a net gain (15%), with the rest saying there will not be significant gains or losses as a result of AI. Respondents were also much more likely to say that the automation of various tasks will be prevalent over the next five years (54%), as opposed to the augmentation of employees’ capabilities (35%).

    Automation could extend into the management ranks. When respondents were asked if employees will increasingly take direction from AI technology that allocates and assigns tasks to employees, over half (53%) said they would.

    The survey found that, generally speaking, HR professionals have conflicted feelings about the power of AI to monitor and report on employees. They were asked how they’d feel about AI software that tracks employees, analyzes those activities, and then regularly reports back to their supervisors with a summary and recommendations. Few loved or detested the idea outright, but 34% liked the idea although had reservations, while another 37% disliked the idea but thought the idea had some merit.

    There will be a one day Virtual Event focused on AI research on December 12th that will provide a detailed snapshot of where AI and HR are today and where it will be in five years. REGISTRATION INFO

    Good performance management practices could drive higher employee engagement levels, indicates new research conducted by HR.com in partnership with BambooHR, HR technology solutions provider.

    Now available for download, the research report, The Impact of Performance Management on Engagement, is based on responses from 880 HR professionals participating in a survey fielded from January to March 2017.

    The study found that many employers suffer from low levels of employee engagement, especially when engagement is defined as a willingness to give discretionary effort. Fewer than half (46%) of the participants agreed their employees give discretionary effort (that is, go above and beyond the minimum effort required), and a mere 6% strongly agreed.

    The research confirmed previous studies showing a link between engagement and employee/manager relationships. Fewer than a tenth of the participants described their organization’s manager/employee relationship as “dynamic,” and these companies reported nearly three times the level of engagement and discretionary effort compared to other organizations.

    The study also examined whether performance management systems impact engagement. There were two major findings. First, there appears to be a link between frequency of feedback and engagement. Sixty-nine percent of respondents said their employees were highly engaged when performance reviews occurred quarterly or more often, compared to just 28% when reviews occurred less frequently than once a year or never at all.

    Second, the study suggests that the reasons for performance reviews may influence engagement. It found that when positive, proactive reasons motivated performance reviews, employees tended to be more engaged and willing to give discretionary effort.

    “We can’t definitively say that performance management practices drive engagement,” said Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com, “but the data suggest some kind of relationship. I think a lot of employees, and even some HR professionals, are cynical about annual performance appraisals if those reviews feel like unpleasant confrontations rather than good and productive conversations. If organizations are having those kinds of challenges, they might want to try experimenting with more frequent performance conversations motivated by the desire to help employees learn and grow. Then those firms could see if this has a positive impact on employee engagement and discretionary effort.”  

    The study also examined which types of technologies employers typically used to operate performance management systems.
