Below, we’ll look at how Generative AI is changing the CHRO’s role and how platforms like OpenRoute are making HR processes easier and more effective.
Hiring has always been a top priority, but extensive processes can be slow and tedious. GenAI is making it easier by simplifying writing job descriptions, using company data and industry trends to create precise, inclusive postings. Startups are exploring faster resume and social media screening to surface top candidates based on skill and culture fit. AI tols can even handle follow-up communications, taking over as a coordinator, sending personalized messages to candidates and saving time for recruiters. This is a huge area of opportunity for mid to large size organizations – according to a study by Bain & Company, selecting the right roles for automation and AI interventions can save around 15-20% in HR labor time.

By automating these tasks, CHROs can spend more time focusing on long-term strategies like building talent pipelines and creating diverse teams.
Today’s employees want personalized experiences at work. GenAI can deliver on that by creating customized onboarding plans that help new hires settle in faster, based on their roles and teams. AI-powered training programs can also adapt to each employee’s learning style, helping them build skills at their own pace. These tools make it easier for CHROs to create stronger connections with employees and improve overall engagement and retention.
CHROs are increasingly playing a key role in shaping company growth. Generative AI fuels this movement by providing predictive analytics that help forecast workforce needs, flag potential turnover risks, and suggest proactive solutions. It can also process employee feedback from surveys and emails, offering actionable insights into morale and workplace culture. AI even helps with scenario planning, allowing CHROs to model the potential impact of restructuring or other big changes. A Gartner survey shows that 76% of HR leaders believe that if their organization does not adopt AI solutions in the next 12 to 24 months, they will lag in organizational success compared to those that do.

With these insights, CHROs can align their HR strategies more closely with business goals and contribute more effectively to leadership discussions.
Compliance can be a headache for HR teams, but Generative AI takes much of the burden off their shoulders. AI can automatically update policies to keep up with changing regulations, reducing the chances of errors. It can also audit processes and documents to catch compliance risks early. Generating legal documents like contracts and offer letters is faster and more accurate with AI, saving time and effort.
