This session is part of the SHRM AI at Work webinar series. When registering, you will be prompted to select all the sessions you are interested in attending.
The quality of your AI output is only as good as the prompt behind it, regardless of what AI platform you’re using. Vague requests yield generic results, but a well-crafted prompt can unlock strategic insights, save hours of work, and help tackle even the most complex HR challenges. The best part? Writing effective prompts is a skill anyone can develop.
In this hands-on webinar, you'll learn how to write prompts that consistently produce more useful, accurate, and actionable results. Discover the anatomy of an effective prompt, practical frameworks you can use across AI tools, and common prompting mistakes that lead to incomplete or unreliable outputs. Whether you're drafting job descriptions, analyzing workforce data, identifying skills gaps, or planning for future talent needs, you'll leave with prompting techniques you can apply immediately.
Through live demonstrations, you'll learn how to:
- Master proven prompting frameworks — Learn how to use structured prompting techniques and specific tools to consistently generate more accurate, relevant, and actionable AI outputs.
- Turn AI into a strategic analyst — Build prompts that transform workforce data into meaningful insights, including skills gap analyses, skills inventories, and other talent intelligence that supports better decision-making.
- Analyze workforce information with greater confidence — Design prompts that identify patterns across large sets of information to generate actionable workforce insights, reduce ambiguity and bias, and connect talent planning to long-term business goals.
Whether you're just getting started with AI or looking to sharpen your prompting skills, you'll leave with practical frameworks, reusable prompt templates, and real-world examples that help you get better results from AI — no matter which tool you're using.
