AI isn't waiting for your organization to be ready.

Employees are already using it. Job responsibilities are changing. And HR professionals are increasingly being asked to address questions about AI policies, employee training, and responsible use.

But are organizations keeping up?

Without clear guidance, employees may be using AI tools without understanding the risks or limitations. Managers may be navigating changes they haven't been trained to handle, and new skill requirements may emerge before organizations have a plan to address them.

📋 For HR professionals, there are some important questions to consider:

🔹 Does our organization have clear guidelines for AI use?

🔹 Do employees understand what information should never be entered into AI tools?

🔹 Are managers prepared to address how AI is changing job responsibilities?

🔹 Are we identifying the skills employees will need as technology continues to evolve?

AI is already influencing the workplace. HR has an important role in helping organizations establish expectations, prepare employees, and manage these changes responsibly.

💬 Has your organization established formal AI policies or employee training yet?

Thank you MVHRA members for another successful event!

What was your biggest takeaway from our incredible speaker, Diane? 👇

10/15/2026

An employee asks to adjust their schedule. 📅 Another requests an exception to a policy. A third raises a performance concern.

If the outcome depends primarily on which manager receives the question, HR may have a consistency problem.

That doesn’t mean every situation requires the same outcome. It means managers should be working from the same policies, understand where they have discretion, know what factors should guide their decisions, and recognize when HR needs to be involved. 📋

A good place to start is reviewing the employee situations managers handle most often and asking: Have we actually trained them on how to make these decisions? 💡

Consistency gives managers a stronger framework for using judgement. 🤝

National Boss's Day is October 16! Is your workplace ready to celebrate?

It's a great opportunity to recognize the managers and leaders who support their teams and make a positive impact in the workplace.

Here are a few ways HR professionals can help their organizations prepare:

💌 Encourage personal appreciation. Invite employees to share a note or message about how their manager has made a difference.

👏 Plan a team recognition moment. Set aside time during a meeting to acknowledge leaders and their contributions.

☕ Organize a small celebration. A team breakfast, coffee, or thoughtful gesture can make the day special.

💬 Collect words of appreciation. Ask team members to share what they value most about their leaders and put those messages together as a meaningful gift.

A little planning can go a long way toward making the people who support and lead our teams feel appreciated! 🤝

🤝 Sometimes the best HR resource is another HR professional.

MVHRA brings together professionals with different backgrounds, industries, and experiences to learn from one another and build relationships that extend beyond our monthly meetings.

That’s the value of having an HR community in your corner.
