✨ Realise x Women In HR Network | FREE Workshop ✨

30th September | 1pm-2pm | Online

Turning Strategy into Action: How AI Helped Increase Goal Achievement by 24%

AI is everywhere, but how many organisations are using it to solve real HR challenges?

Hosted by Claire McLean, CEO and Founder of Realise HR, Georgina Kelly, Founder of the Women in HR Network and Hema Patel, former Global Performance & Talent Director at Cencora, who will share a practical case study demonstrating how AI was used to transform one of the most fundamental aspects of performance management - goal setting.

Rather than talking about AI in theory, Hema will take us behind the scenes of how she developed an AI-powered goal-setting tool that helped employees create meaningful objectives aligned to business and functional strategy, resulting in a 24% increase in goal setting within the goal-setting timeframe.

This isn’t a session about replacing people with AI. It’s about using technology to make work better, support managers and employees, and improve the quality of performance conversations.

Expect an honest discussion about what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons learned along the way.

Who's your HR sounding board?

As HR professionals, we're often the people everyone turns to for advice. But who do you turn to when you need a second opinion?

One of the biggest misconceptions about our HR packages is that they're only designed for businesses without internal HR teams. In reality, many organisations use us as an extension of their existing HR team.

Whether it's discussing a tricky employee relations matter, sense-checking an approach, reviewing a policy or simply talking through a challenge with someone who's been there before, our retained packages give you access to experienced HR support when you need it. That expertise includes our very own Claire McLean, recently recognised as No. 11 on the HR Influencers list!

Because even HR professionals need HR support sometimes. 💚

Can recruiters tell when a CV or cover letter has been written by AI? And does it really matter?

Sometimes, yes, you can spot it. Not because we’re using detectors, but because when you’ve read thousands of CVs, you know when something feels off.

The usual signs: over‑polished language, generic statements, buzzwords with no evidence, and achievements that fall apart when you dig into them.

But the issue isn’t AI. It’s authenticity.

If the skills and achievements are genuinely yours, we don’t care if you used AI to structure and polish your CV. The problems start when AI invents responsibilities, numbers or outcomes you can’t defend in interview.

And most importantly - AI cannot create your impact. It can’t tell me how you improved productivity, created efficiencies, saved money, led people or delivered measurable change. Only you can.

Ellie's advice:

• Use AI to tidy, not rewrite
• Keep your own voice
• Make sure every achievement stands up
• Focus on impact, the real numbers and outcomes

AI is a tool. Your capability and your impact are what get you hired.

3 ways to build a more inclusive workplace

Creating an inclusive culture isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about making people feel they truly belong.

Check out Claire's 3 practical places leaders can start:

1️⃣ Educate leaders and teams
Inclusion starts with awareness. Training helps teams understand unconscious bias, inclusive behaviours and how everyday actions impact others. Knowledge builds confidence. Confidence builds better culture.

2️⃣ Review policies and practices
Inclusive workplaces are reflected in fair recruitment, progression, flexible working and clear processes for raising concerns. Systems shape behaviour, whether intentionally or not.

3️⃣ Encourage open and respectful conversations
People need to feel safe to speak up, share ideas, and challenge constructively. Inclusive leaders actively listen and value diverse perspectives. Psychological safety drives engagement and trust.

At Realise, we partner with organisations to deliver practical inclusion and leadership training that creates real, lasting change, tailored to your people and your culture.
