The workplace is being refashioned by technological advances: from a 360 degree
jobplace perspective --- supervisor, supervision, and cohort --- as well as the
mechanics of personnel ("HR by AI, jobseeking via AI"), the entirety of what we
mean by employment is being transformed.

Human Resources, reengineered
=============================

Human resources has many functions that AI can already be used:

   Finding new candidates and hiring new employess -- many businesses
   have resorted to AI to find new employees; the wealth of data
   already available and, with the widespread adoption of ESG scoring,
   offer HR heretofore unavailable data for finding attractive
   candidates.

   Background checks -- many businesses use background checks for
   potential employees, and AI has been used in this area.

   Onboarding activities -- most larger businesses have many rote activities that
   new employees go through; AI has been used to help these new employees.

   Employee benefits -- businesses can offer employees various types of benefits,
   such as 401k plans and group health insurance; AI has been used to help
   keep employees aware of these offerings and to help employees navigate the
   nuances of such offerings.

   Training -- AI and simulation technology have been increasingly used in both
   initial job training and continuing education.

   Monitoring -- AI can be very helpful in monitoring employee use of
   social media, and if financial data is available (ESG, for
   example), can be used to monitor employees' economic activities.

   Corrective actions -- AI can be used to initiate and maintain corrective
   actions, including those up to termination of employment.

While most of these are currently augmentation of HR workers, with
direct human supervision of AI performance, increasingly we will see
humans displaced rather than augmented. AI is far more cost-effective
than humans, and unpleasant actions, such as massive layoffs, will in
the future be less stressful for HR workers in charge.
