The Career Services Office Launches the HR CoLab Project

On August 11, 2023, the Career Services Office (CSO) achieved a significant milestone with the launch of the HR CoLab Project. The HR CoLab Project emerges as the successor to the HR CLICK Project, introduced by the CSO of the Asian Institute of Management in April 2021. This visionary endeavor, forged through a partnership between the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) and various industries, is dedicated to creating a connection between Human Resources and other skilled professionals, transcending local boundaries, and spanning international horizons. This initiative envisions a collaborative framework where practitioners synergize their expertise, co-craft innovations, and collectively drive community transformations. A defining feature of this initiative lies in its voluntary and open membership, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas without financial constraints.

The event featured an inaugural presentation by Professor Corinne Grace Burgos, a dedicated full-time assistant professor at AIM's Aboitiz School of Innovation, Technology, & Entrepreneurship. The topic focused on "The Benefits of Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Human Resource Management” which brought together a total of 57 human resource professionals and talent acquisition specialists, with representatives from diverse sectors including government agencies, academia, business enterprises, and non-profit organizations—both in-person and online—thereby establishing a platform for an informative discussion. 

Professor Corinne Burgos discussed the multifaceted advantages of integrating AI into various human resource management cycles. Through an insightful presentation, she expounded upon a comprehensive range of advantages brought about by the fusion of AI and HRM, including enhanced efficiency, cost savings, data analysis opportunities, accelerated turnaround time, strategic employee focus and engagement, performance management, and a reduction in the gender gap. Professor Corinne also underscored the critical imperative of reskilling and upskilling HR professionals as they navigate the intricate landscape of integrating human intelligence with machine capabilities.
