These days, it’s hard to read articles about human resources and workplaces without stumbling upon the words “ChatGPT” and “AI.” But what does it all mean? And what does the adoption of artificial intelligence mean for you, your organization, and your human resources department?

In this issue, we’ve sifted through the latest news and compiled a collection of articles to help get you up to speed on the topic of AI.

A "Best Place to Work in Canada" Award

HRD Canada sought out the Best Places to Work in 2023, looking at a myriad of categories from culture to learning and development opportunities to mental health and technology.

Pesce & Associates made the list and we couldn't be more proud!

Health and Safety Ruling

A recent, important ruling in a New Brunswick criminal case has health and safety implications for workplaces. The "blame the boss" defence failed.

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act

Earlier this year, the federal government introduced the Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act, which will create a Sustainable Jobs Partnership Council to provide the government with independent advice on the most effective measures to encourage sustainable job creation.

P&A Client: "We've been recruiting for a senior leadership position for over a year and we still haven't found the right candidate."

The Problem:

Many organizations we work with find it the most challenging to fill senior leadership positions. In this particular organization, they had been doing their traditional job advertising for well over a year but had yet to find a suitable candidate.

The Solution:

The organization engaged us (Pesce & Associates) and our partner, Robert Dougan from RAD Potential, to develop an employer brand and an "employee value proposition."

Our client completed the process of surveying high-performing staff to understand why they stay with the organization and what they feel the organization gives them.

This information was leveraged to build out the employee value proposition and the employer brand that the organization then used in all their advertising and social media posts.

Within two months of launching this recruitment-marketing approach, they filled the senior leadership position with a great candidate.

ChatGPT and Human Resources: What Does It All Mean?

What is ChatGPT?

Chat GPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that can create humanlike conversational dialogue. You can sign up for ChatGPT with your email. Once you are signed-in, you can ask ChatGPT to compose various written content, including articles, social media posts, essays, code and emails.

What's the big deal?

Many people agree that the generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool may be the "biggest technological advancement since the invention of the personal computer."

Bill Gates recently said that AI is "revolutionary," and that "businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it."

Chat GPT and Human Resources

There are many potential uses for ChatGPT in the workplace, especially in the HR department.

Here are examples of HR tasks that ChatGPT can potentially perform:
* Crafting job descriptions.
* Composing employee handbook materials and policy and procedures and updating them.
* Drafting e-mails to job candidates, including offer letters.
* Checking HR laws and regulations (pre-2021).
* Summarizing research and reports.
* Generating employee surveys.
* Streamlining administrative tasks, such as reminders about events and holidays.
* Scanning and screening resumes.
* Compiling interview questions.
* Conducting market research on compensation.
* Providing employee self-service.

Is There Anything ChatGPt Can't Do?

While it seems like ChatGPT is a magical tool, it's important to be aware of its limitations.

1. ChatGPT is trained to respond using information available on the Internet before 2021.
2. There have been many reports of erroneous responses.
3. Source citations are not automatically provided (although can be requested).

A responsible approach is to use ChatGPT to create a solid first draft to work from. But after that, it's essential that you revise and review the information from ChatGPT for accuracy, relevancy, and sourcing before you use the information.
