Automate HR processes:

Identify automation opportunities and implement them independently using RPA/low-code technologies (e.g. n8n, UiPath, Make, PowerAutomate).

Integrate AI effectively:

Analyze which AI functionalities (e.g., in Workday or other HR tools) add value and manage pilot phases as well as operational rollouts.

Improve data quality:

Implement automations for recurring checks and reconciliations to allow our functional experts to focus on creating value instead of managing transactional tasks.

Prompt smartly:

Develop, test, and document prompts for HR use cases to streamline processes.

Drive innovation responsibly:

Develop and implement technical HR innovations in close collaboration with Data Protection, IT, and the Works Council to always ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
