HR Interactive | How To Engage Your Workforce Using AI
Welcome to New Media Manitoba’s HR Interactive!
Join us to explore how organizations can engage and retain their employees using AI techniques.
===
AI is rapidly changing the workplace and creating new possibilities for how organizations communicate, connect with employees and shape the employee experience. But using AI effectively requires more than simply adopting new tools.
This interactive session invites HR professionals to explore the relationship between AI and employee engagement—where AI can add meaningful value, where its limitations lie, and what organizations need to consider before putting it to work.
Through practical examples, discussion and shared experiences, participants will consider how AI can support more thoughtful and effective approaches to engaging employees while keeping the human elements of leadership, culture and connection at the centre.
Rather than focusing on technology for technology’s sake, the conversation will encourage participants to think critically about where AI can genuinely improve the employee experience and where strong organizational foundations still matter most. This reflects the core distinction in the presentation between what AI can enable and what it cannot solve.
Participants will leave with new ideas, practical considerations and a clearer perspective on how AI might fit into their own organization’s approach to employee engagement.
Who should attend:
- HR professionals in all career stages
- HR students
- Leadership & Management
- Operations & Office Managers
