First Barometer of AI in HR
in Canada
AI in HR is no longer a futuristic idea: it's already at work in recruitment, training, talent management, and employee experience. Between 60 and 70% of white-collar workers use it. This barometer aims to provide the first picture of its adoption in Canadian organizations, from Quebec to British Columbia and Ontario.
Why this barometer?
For the first time, a structured survey is gathering the perceptions of Canadian HR decision-makers and leaders in order to:
-
Identify current and future uses of AI in HR.
-
Compare practices by company size and sector.
-
Provide a basis for strategic thinking for HR departments.
Who is this survey intended for?
-
HR decision-makers (CHROs, HR Directors, VPs of HR, HR Directors, HR and Payroll Managers).
-
HR professionals (recruitment, training, talent management, payroll, employee experience, total rewards, health and safety, organizational development, engagement).
-
HR consultants (responding with reference to their own company).
-
Institutional and academic organizations (responding with reference to their own organization).
-
Representatives of HRIS vendors and integrators (responding with reference to their own company).
-
All organization sizes, all sectors, and all Canadian provinces are included.
