Level-set Your HR Team to Start Leveraging AI

Advanced Prompting Workshop:
In this session, participants dive deep into how large language models (LLMs) think, reason, and fail—and how to leverage that understanding for more effective AI use. The workshop explores core LLM limitations such as hallucinations, jagged intelligence, memory loss, sycophancy, and shallow reasoning, and provides concrete techniques to mitigate them through better prompt engineering.

Participants learn and practice advanced prompting methods, including prompt folding, meta prompting, step-by-step and chain prompting, and escape hatching. They also experiment with concepts like agentic AI and custom GPTs to expand what’s possible in real-world HR applications.

By the end, participants will not only understand how to design advanced prompts but also why certain prompts work—equipping them to reason through model behavior, improve reliability, and confidently apply LLMs to complex, high-stakes HR tasks such as policy creation, workforce analytics, and talent strategy.

This foundational module introduces participants to the fundamentals of AI and how it transforms HR, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to apply it responsibly and effectively.

• Understanding AI: Learn what AI is, how it applies to HR, and how to manage its risks responsibly.
• Enhancing HR Practices with Gen AI: Discover how generative AI can boost efficiency through content creation, data insights, automation, and productivity.
• AI in Practice: Explore real-world examples and frameworks showing how AI is applied across L&D, talent acquisition, and people analytics.

This module builds the foundation for effective AI interaction by teaching participants how to craft clear, targeted, and high-impact prompts tailored to HR tasks. By the end, participants will be able to translate HR challenges into well-structured prompts that consistently generate valuable, accurate, and actionable results.

• Prompt Design Fundamentals: Learn the core principles of effective prompt writing using the BRIEF Framework, avoid common mistakes, and practice chaining and optimizing prompts for higher-quality AI output.
• ChatGPT for HR: Apply prompting skills in hands-on HR scenarios (including writing job descriptions, designing workshops, analyzing data, and selecting HRIS vendors) while gaining access to practical resources and demos to enhance everyday HR work.

In this interactive session, participants turn their AI knowledge into real-world impact by identifying and designing practical AI solutions for HR. Using the AI Use Case Canvas, they explore common applications across areas such as talent acquisition, learning and development, and HR operations, and learn how to evaluate feasibility, data requirements, and ethical considerations.

Through this exercise, participants come up with AI-powered solutions for day-to-day HR challenges, by defining problems, setting success metrics, and mapping out where AI can create measurable value. By the end of the workshop, they walk away with a clear portfolio of actionable AI initiatives.

This module helps participants apply advanced generative AI techniques to real HR tasks, focusing on precision, consistency, and measurable impact. Through structured exercises and hands-on activities, they learn to build reusable prompt templates, structure inputs with delimiters, and apply contrastive prompting to improve the accuracy and analytical depth of AI outputs. By the end, participants will know how to use generative AI not just to save time, but to enhance the quality, reliability, and insightfulness of their HR work.

This module helps participants understand how to use AI responsibly and securely within HR workflows. It explores how to recognize AI’s limitations, protect sensitive employee data, and identify potential bias or fairness issues in AI-generated outputs.

Participants also learn to verify AI results before acting on them, follow company AI policies, and maintain clear documentation when AI is used in critical HR processes.

By the end of the module, participants will be able to:

• Apply ethical and transparent AI practices in day-to-day HR activities
• Safeguard employee data and ensure compliance with organizational policies
• Evaluate and address potential bias or inaccuracy in AI-driven decisions

This module introduces participants to the emerging concept of agentic AI. Participants learn how these AI agents differ from traditional automation or conversational tools like ChatGPT, and why they represent a major shift in how HR work can be organized and scaled.

Through demos and strategic discussions, participants explore high-impact HR use cases such as onboarding follow-ups, compliance tracking, interview scheduling, and HR reporting. They then learn to map and structure workflows to identify where agentic AI can take over repetitive or process-driven tasks.

By the end, participants will understand the strategic potential of agentic AI, know how to recognize opportunities for its use, and be equipped to collaborate effectively with technical teams or vendors to implement these solutions responsibly and securely.

In the final stage of the boot camp, participants showcase what they’ve learned by presenting their AI use cases and proposed solutions to peers and facilitators. This session brings together all elements of the learning journey, demonstrating how these concepts translate into real organizational impact.

Through their Capstone Project, participants articulate the business problem, AI opportunity, and expected outcomes of their use case, receiving feedback to refine and strengthen their ideas. By the end, they leave with a clear and actionable AI initiative tailored to their HR context, as well as the confidence to champion AI adoption within their organization.
