AI has changed how I work, but it hasn’t changed why I work.
AI has changed how I work, but it hasn’t changed why I work.
As a Director of Learning & Development, I’ve been intentionally experimenting with AI across recruiting, onboarding, training material creation, and enablement.
Here’s what I’ve learned so far:
-AI is great at speed, structure, ideas, and scale
-Humans are essential for context, judgment, and connection
I use AI to manage job candidate entries, draft learning content, create and organize onboarding materials, and reduce the friction that slows teams down.
But we don’t outsource:
-Interviews
-Hiring decisions
-Coaching conversations
-Culture-building moments
-The “read the room” parts of leadership
Curious how others in HR, L&D, or TA are finding that balance.
