AI training for HR managers

AI decides nothing about a person. It prepares your reviews, finds the rule in your agreements, checks payroll before the close, and drafts your documents, so you have more time with employees.

What to check

Upload only collective texts, never an individual file. The notebook doesn’t know the French Labor Code: to find out whether the law is more favorable than the agreement, check separately.

Find the rule in your company agreementsGemini Notebook · “Chat” panel
  1. Create an “HR rules” notebook and upload the collective bargaining agreement, the company agreements, the workplace rules, and the remote work policy.
  2. In the “Chat” panel, ask the question with the prompt below.
  3. Click the number shown in the answer: the article opens in the document.
  4. Reply to the employee and cite the article, and keep the question for your FAQ list.

The prompt to copy

Using only the documents in this notebook, answer this question from an employee: [question]. Give the answer in two sentences, then cite the document and the article it is based on. If several texts cover the topic, say what each one states and which is the most favorable to the employee. If no document answers the question, say so clearly.

Ground rules

The rules to follow with AI in this job

Always do this

  • Personal data: an employee file stays in the company’s HR software. In an assistant, no name, no salary, no personal situation.
  • No decision about a person is made on the word of AI alone: evaluation, disciplinary measure, promotion, termination. The tool prepares, a human decides and can explain the decision.
  • Labor law is checked in the text itself and in your collective bargaining agreement. For a termination or a dispute, have an attorney approve it.
  • Inform employees and consult the works council (the CSE in France) before introducing an AI tool that affects their work or their data.

Never hand this to AI

  • Health data: sick leave, medical reasons, disability status.
  • Calculating a severance payment or final pay without recounting it.
  • Rating, ranking, or comparing employees against each other.
