Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how businesses hire, manage, and support their staff, and local employers in Omagh need to be aware of both the opportunities and the risks.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Northern Ireland, in partnership with the Equality Commission, is hosting a free online session exploring how AI is already being used in recruitment, performance management, and day-to-day HR processes.
Why this matters for Omagh businesses
From automated CV screening to AI-powered staff monitoring tools, more organisations are introducing AI into their HR systems. While these tools can save time and improve decision-making, they also bring challenges, particularly around fairness, transparency, and the risk of bias or discrimination.
This event will help employers understand:
-
How AI is used in recruitment and staff management
-
The potential risks for bias and discrimination
-
Practical steps to ensure AI is used responsibly and ethically
-
How to enhance HR practices without harming staff trust or compliance
Whether you’re a small business owner, a manager, or part of a growing team, this session offers valuable guidance to help you navigate AI safely and effectively.
