September Program Meeting

AI + HR: What’s Changed, What’s Next, and Why It Matters

Categories: TAHRA Program Meeting

Presented by Shagah Zakerion

In September, Shagah Zakerion will be facilitating a two-part session (program and lab) to help HR professionals confidently engage with artificial intelligence by understanding both the fundamentals and the practical use cases in their daily work. The first half will provide a clear, approachable overview of AI—what it is, how it’s being used in HR, and why it matters. The second half will be a hands-on Learning Lab, where attendees will use tools like ChatGPT to complete common HR tasks and see how AI can simplify processes, improve efficiency, and support people-centered decision making. Attendees will leave each session with insights they can immediately apply and the confidence to keep experimenting.

Join us for one or both sessions—just make sure to register for each individually!

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way HR professionals work—and those changes are no longer theoretical. At the September program, we’ll explore the current state of AI adoption in the workplace, key trends shaping the HR profession, and why understanding these tools is becoming essential for strategic leadership. Whether you’re feeling skeptical, curious, or excited about AI, this session will equip you with a high-level understanding of what’s happening—and what’s coming next.

Learning Objectives:

  • Gain a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence and its relevance to HR.
  • Explore current trends in AI adoption and how they are reshaping HR functions.
