There are few topics across the business environment that cause more confusion and uncertainty than AI, but you don't need to understand everything on your own.
A recent UK study by YouGov shows that nearly one in three small business leaders already uses AI tools, with an additional 15% planning.
But while leaders begin to tackle possibilities, the reality is that many employees are already using AI tools in their daily work, often without formal guidance or business supervision.
That's where HR people support them. In helping HR experts and business leaders, we lead your billing to help turn what is already happening into something safe, consistent and purposeful.
As part of “The New Reality,” HR People Support aims to work with you to navigate the important things from a people's perspective.
AI-Freamine is not just a matter of technology decisions, but also a matter of people's strategy. HR can also lead cross-fertility partnerships from marketing and IT to leadership and from key areas of focus to support your goals.
HR support has identified four specific areas where HR can actually lead and support AI enablement. People make impacts and plans. Skills and support. and policy and governance.
Use guidance to explore how AI affects roles, workloads, or team structure, taking into account what skills and capabilities are required.
Not only can you strengthen your skills, but you can also enhance your team communication, identify relevant training and security, and be aware of AI's role in the business or future role, and how you can make sure your staff are confident using it.
Sarah Harris, Managing Director, HR People Support, said: Today's cutting edge sentiment may become obsolete in the next quarter. So strict policies and annual reviews don't cut that down. Companies need practical flexibility and continuous conversation.
'The role of HR is to help keep people at the heart of those decisions. It means supporting capabilities, protecting equity, and helping to shape a culture where AI is used properly and not necessarily blocked and locked.
“The goal is to help businesses become more confident, adaptable and help people continue to change as shifts change.
HR People Support is offering practical support this fall to help businesses find footholds with AI in their workplaces.
Whether companies are beginning to think about AI or already trying to manage its impact, they are running a set of events and resources designed to get through the noise.
The series begins with the flagship event held at Cheltenham Racecourse on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, and will be conducted in collaboration with data from AI Specialists.
Together, they explore the new reality of corporate HR to make AI safe.
From there, topic-specific HR LED roundtables aim to help business and HR leaders take their next steps and turn your questions into practical ideas that can be used in business immediately.
