Impacting employee experience & engagement through AI, the ICICI Bank way

Amitabh Singh, General Manager, HR, ICICI Bank shared how ICICI bank is leveraging AI to impact experience and engagement at ICICI Bank.

Being an organization of young people, there is a high demand for transfer at the bank. So HR managers in the bank receive most of their calls bordering on the issue of transfers. While the bank has a transfer system, post putting a request in the system, candidates have a tendency to follow up on emails and calls to know the status. After not receiving a response in three days, they normally escalate the issue. 

This was quite a bother for the HR because despite doing their best, they were deluged by data. First, they had to figure out who is the person who wants the transfer and secondly look at the recruitment system, to figure out if it’s possible. It was a very manual process which involved the HR manager calling the recruitment officer of the desired location to figure out if there is a vacancy.

Identifying your Employee Experience and Engagement challenges in the age of AI

A workshop session was led by - Hardeep Singh, Head of HCM Applications Strategy, India, at Oracle Corporation and Ester Martinez, CEO & Editor-in-Chief, People Matters. Here’s a list of top challenges highlighted by leaders:

  1. A shift in mindset: Treating employees as 'end users' and providing them with an impactful 'experience', and in that process evolving from a 'service' mindset to a 'product' mindset.

  2. In a business context with high attrition and high recruitment, how do we ensure that we are hiring people who would be “productive” for the organization in a short time span? And if they do so, how do we know that they would stick on the organization for a meaningful period of time?

  3. Employee experience may mean different things to the employee and the employer because it is understood from different vantage points. How can you ensure better alignment?
