Reporting for the board meeting

👈 Back to contents

This section is slightly different from the others in this article. The reason is that we have only recently launched the new HR Analytics module and you cannot use AI directly in it yet. However, because data has a huge potential to put you in the hands of a strong case for meetings with company management, we would like you to start using it as soon as possible to gain ground for the necessary changes.

Therefore, before we start AI in HR Analytics itself, you can help yourself with a little „hack” and generate the necessary outputs from the Recruitment section, as if you were creating a job offer.

Prompt example:

Annual Revenue per employee in individual countries: 
UK: 97,000EUR
Germany: 86,000EUR
US: 110,000EUR

Cost per employee in individual countries: 

UK: 150,000EUR
Germany: 90000EUR
US: 120,000EUR

Prepare me a summary for a management meeting to help me show management in which countries we should hire more employees to increase the efficiency of annual revenue vs. employee costs in individual countries.

Recommended inputs to be included in the prompt:

• Be specific: Clearly define and specify what kind of referral you are looking for. If you want recommendations based on a specific dataset, be sure to specify what data to consider.
• Include necessary parameters: If you need recommendations based on certain parameters like age, gender, etc., don’t forget to include them in the prompt.
• Set limits: If you want any limits on your referrals, such as a specific price range, time frame, geographic location, etc., be sure to include them in the prompt.
• Clearly define table data: Make sure your table data is clearly explained in the prompt. Include all relevant categories/fields and how they should be interpreted.
• Ask for relevant recommendations: Do not hesitate to ask the AI for its recommendations on how to present the results to management. He’s sure to give you some tips to bounce off of.
• Use appropriate language: The language used in the prompt should be clear, concise and direct. This will make it easier for the AI to understand what kind of output you are looking for.

Other prompt examples:

• Analyze the current skills list of our workforce, identify the most in-demand skills and potential skills gaps. Provide recommendations for skills development programs that address these gaps.

Performance (OKRs, KPIs) and L&D

👈 Back to contents

Simplify your life by generating customized key results for your objectives or development goals.

Prompt example: 

– Generate [3] measurable key results for our objective [Increase the brand awareness],

Recommended inputs to be included in the prompt:

1. Describe the objective: Describe the objective you are generating your key results. It helps the AI to understand the context better.
2. Specify the amount: It is usually recommended to have 2-5 key results for one objective. However, this is very individual so feel free to adjust this number according to your needs.
3. Define the job position: Results will obviously differ if you generate them for a marketing manager of a support specialist. Do not forget to specify the job position.
4. Detail your environment: Again, for better context describe where your company is geographically located and what you are trying to achieve.
5. Make it time bound: For proper responses, the AI needs to know the „deadlines” of your key results. In other words, results will differ if you need to fulfil these key deliveries in 3 months, 6 months or a year.
6. Define the language of your output: Your key results are usually described in local language but feel free to generate them in language you need.
7. Other instructions: If you want your results simple yet precise, you can tell the AI to generate concise but clear outputs.

Other prompt examples:

• Objective: Becoming an European leader in a bike sharing industry
  
  – Generate [4] key results for our objective [Becoming the European number one bike rental company],
  – these key results should be assigned to our [sales representatives] who are going to be responsible for their fulfilment,

  – make these key results time bound for the [next year],
