Much of the job of talent acquisition is about establishing a relationship between a company and an employee. Once the offer is made and the candidate accepts, a new journey begins -- one that focuses on fulfilling an initial promise of value and growing it over time. It's about employee engagement, performance management, skills development, and a host of related time- and resource-intensive functions. Moving forward, artificial intelligence (AI) will provide a significant advantage in helping companies to better understand and engage with their workers. AI's impact will be felt across these key areas of employee experience.
