Tips

• GenAI generates first drafts, not final outputs — always review AI-generated HR content for accuracy, tone, company context, and potential bias before using it.
• The quality of GenAI output is directly proportional to the quality of your prompt — invest time in writing specific, context-rich prompts rather than expecting good results from vague instructions.
• Never enter confidential employee data, compensation details, or personally identifiable information into public GenAI tools; use enterprise-grade tools with appropriate data handling agreements.
• GenAI is most valuable for time-consuming, repetitive writing tasks (first drafts, variations, summaries) — use human judgment for nuanced, high-stakes communications and decisions.
• Build team norms around GenAI use transparency — be clear with colleagues and stakeholders about when GenAI was used to create content and how it was reviewed.
