HR roles getting trimmer as firms adopt AI tech

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within human resources (HR) across various industries is significantly reducing the ratio of HR staff to employees. This shift towards leaner HR teams, driven by the adoption of advanced AI technologies, highlights a broader trend towards increased operational efficiency in HR practices, say analysts.

A recent study conducted across 10,000 companies showed that large organisations with a headcount of 1,000 to 9,000 now maintain an HR team ratio as low as 1.34, compared to smaller companies with around 250 employees, which have a ratio of about 4.43, Munira Loliwala, VP – strategy and growth at staffing firm TeamLease Digital told FE.
