AI Leadership for HR Professionals, 2026 Edition From Tools to Teams: How HR Leads the Human–AI Workforce.

AI is no longer a future concept or a box to check. In 2026, AI is reshaping how work is designed, how decisions are made, and how teams operate. HR now plays the central role in guiding this transformation.

This six-session program gives HR professionals a practical, hands-on blueprint for leading AI integration inside real workplaces—whether your team is three people or three hundred.

Built specifically for the HR context in Atlantic Canada, this program goes far beyond AI literacy. Participants learn how to:

· Redesign workflows to remove friction and improve decision quality

· Build and supervise AI “teammates” alongside human employees

· Introduce new AI-augmented job roles and career paths

· Implement AI without pilot paralysis

· Measure impact using capacity, workflow speed, and cultural acceptance

· Support leaders with clear governance, guardrails, and oversight

Each session includes practical demonstrations, real workflow labs, live AI supervision simulations, and opportunities to apply AI directly to your day-to-day HR work.

Participants leave with:

· A redesigned HR or operational workflow

· AI Team Member Role Cards

· An AI Supervision Handbook for managers

· An AI-augmented job design framework

· A ready-to-implement AI Sprint Plan

· An AI Impact Scorecard

· Benchmark data showing how HR readiness improves across the program

· This program is interactive, practical, and built for immediate application. No technical expertise required.

Program start: April 9, 2026.
