Employment Essentials: AI Best Practices

20th October, 2026
1:00pm NZDT
AI is already changing the way HR teams work – from drafting communications and policies to supporting recruitment, managing employee information and automating everyday tasks. But using AI effectively means more than knowing which tools to use.
As AI regulation evolves, workplace responsibilities aren’t disappearing. So how can businesses use AI effectively without creating new privacy, employment or compliance risks – and how do you get your people using it responsibly?
Join Sanam Permal, Employment Counsel at Employment Hero, Dineth Samarasinghe, Legal Counsel at Employment Hero, and Annie Johnson, Founder & Director at The Honest Human, for a practical discussion on AI best practices for businesses across Australia & New Zealand.
We’ll explore:
- Where AI can genuinely improve everyday HR and employment processes
- What employers need to consider when using employee and workplace information with AI
- What should actually be included in an AI workplace policy
- Where human judgement needs to remain at the centre of employment decisions
- How to set clear expectations and practical AI guidelines for your workforce
- How to move from AI experimentation to meaningful, responsible adoption
Whether your business is already using AI or still working out where to start, you’ll leave with practical guidance on the key considerations for using AI in your workplace, including privacy, policies, human judgement and responsible adoption.
