Effective onboarding is more crucial than ever. A recent Brandon Hall Group™ webinar featuring experts from GTreasury and Brandon Hall Group Smartchoice© Preferred Provider LearnUpon shed light on how artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are transforming the onboarding landscape. If you missed this insightful discussion, be sure to catch up on the recording.
Automation and AI have the potential to revolutionize onboarding in many ways, but implementing these technologies can be challenging. Fortunately, there’s a growing acceptance and understanding of their value. At the beginning of the webinar, a poll was conducted to gauge participants’ attitudes towards generative AI in onboarding. The results showed that most attendees were proactively engaged with the technology, rather than resisting or avoiding it. This response indicates a readiness to embrace and utilize AI in onboarding processes, despite the initial uncertainties that often accompany technological changes.
(NOTE: For purposes of the poll, Flight = total avoidance of GenAI, and Fight = fully bought in.)
