Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)
Who is behind People-AI-HR?
People-AI-HR was founded by Dirk Petersen. For over 30 years, Dirk has helped HR leaders deliver measurable business results through their people. From hands-on entrepreneurial leadership to senior HR roles at the World Bank, Gartner, and Insight222, his focus has always been the same: helping HR enable leaders and employees to achieve more together.
How do you ensure you don’t over‑promise or rely on “black box” AI?
We emphasize transparency, explanation, and human oversight. We never build proprietary algorithms you can’t understand. Instead, we use explainable tools and frameworks, and always involve HR in interpreting, validating, and applying results. We also work with existing data sources and vendor partners rather than replacing them wholesale.
What kinds of HR organizations do you work with?
We focus primarily on mid-sized and growth-stage enterprises (e.g. 200–5,000 employees) that are ready to embed AI into their HR function. We partner best when HR has executive sponsorship and basic foundational data capabilities in place.
How We Work ->
What is your role vs. the client’s role?
We are your advisor, guide, and capability-builder, not an outsourcing contractor for your core HR operations. You (or your HR team) will always retain ownership. Our job is to hand you reusable frameworks, analytic insights, training, and governance tools — not to run all deliverables indefinitely.
How does your TRUST by People‑AI‑HR™ methodology work?
TRUST stands for Target – Research – Understand – Scale – Train. It’s our structured approach for combining business goals, diagnostic work, human-centered adoption, scalable pilots, and capability building. Every service we deliver is shaped through this lens to ensure sustainable change, not just one-off outputs.
What output will I get from the Assessment service?
You’ll receive: a readiness diagnostic (surveys, interviews, benchmarking), a Strengths & Gaps report, an Opportunity Map showing prioritized AI use‑cases, and a Leadership Alignment Workshop to interpret results and map next steps.

If I don’t have much historical data, can you still do the Assessment?
Absolutely. We will build a baseline using proxy metrics (e.g. error corrections, review cycles, time-to-approval) measured over the first 1–2 months. That baseline becomes your comparison going forward.
What does “Adoption” include — are you delivering full training programs?
We deliver role-based learning journeys, toolkits, communications plans, and build a network of champions. You (or your learning team) retain ownership of modular content. We co-design and co-facilitate adoption rollouts — not outsource your entire training function.

Will you provide me fully automated dashboards?
We provide frameworks, templates, and interactive dashboards (via common BI tools), plus training on how to interpret and adjust them. You own the dashboards and can evolve them over time. We don’t “lock you in” to our proprietary system.
What if our maturity is lower than ideal for advanced services?
That’s common. If your HR or data readiness isn’t yet there, we often start in the Core/Launchpad services (Assessment, Action, Adoption, Analytics), build capability, and then scale into advanced work when the foundation is stronger.

How do you demonstrate impact to the C-suite?
We track both quick wins (e.g. error reduction, faster cycle times) and strategic outcomes (adoption, productivity, employee sentiment). These are presented in executive scorecards and dashboards, so CHROs, CFOs, and CEOs see clear links to business results.
How do you ensure adoption scales beyond pilots?
TWe embed adoption into daily workflows through toolkits, champions, and leader-led training. This way, adoption is not a “side project” but part of ongoing HR and manager routines, ensuring scale.

What about data security and privacy in your assessments and analytics?
We work with client-provided data only, stored and analyzed within your secure environment. We never remove sensitive HR data offsite. Our frameworks are designed to minimize risk by using explainable, lightweight methods.
How do you address employee skepticism or resistance to AI?
We build trust by involving employees early, co-creating use cases, and providing transparent training. We emphasize “AI as assistant, not replacement” — helping employees see opportunity, not threat.

How much time will this require from my HR team and managers?
Most engagements are designed to be lean: 2–3 hours of executive time for alignment, 3–4 workshops for HR teams, and short modular training for managers. We balance ambition with bandwidth so adoption does not overwhelm daily work.
Do you provide legal compliance opinions in AI Risk service?
We are not a law firm and don’t provide legal statements or opinions. What we deliver are HR-specific governance frameworks, checklists, and training that align with best practices and help prepare materials for your legal or compliance team to validate.
