We’re all familiar with the benefits of AI for things like summarizing meetings, creating content, or automating customer service. But dive a little deeper, and there’s a world of opportunity to explore, particularly for those looking to improve the full business experience.
Combine conversation intelligence, specialized enterprise copilots, and data analytics, and you end up with a suite of solutions that can help you source, onboard, and manage global teams, empower hybrid workers, streamline HR tasks, and improve business decision-making.
Imagine an AI solution that shares granular insights into employee engagement, local compliance laws across countries, payroll obligations, and talent planning, all while simultaneously giving your staff round-the-clock support. That’s exactly what Deel is offering with its AI-powered HR platform.
Every company gets an AI assistant embedded into a platform built to optimize the full business experience, support employees, streamline operations, and accelerate decisions.
It’s time for a fresh look at the employee copilot.
Business Experience and the Future of AI-Enhanced Work
When most people think of AI, they imagine a tool for generating content quickly or answering customer queries. But the impact of AI on employee experience, HR operations, and even executive decision-making is growing.
Just look at the fact that eight out of ten companies now use AI to mentor new employees. Another 87 percent of companies are using AI to improve recruitment processes. McKinsey even says 52 percent of organizations are now convinced that AI will improve their operations at scale.
Deel’s AI-powered HR platform offers an insight into exactly how versatile AI tools can be. It helps employees find information about benefits, time off, payroll, and even immigration standards. For HR, it reduces repetitive tasks like tracking approvals or compliance requirements. Business leaders get insights into workforce data across countries, without endless spreadsheets.
The effect is a more coordinated, intelligent business experience. Employees get faster answers. HR focuses on strategic initiatives. Leaders see risk and opportunity more clearly.
AI as a Workforce Strategist: Hiring, Planning, and Compensation
Hiring across borders is tough. You need to navigate visa rules, benefit variations, local labor standards, and so on. HR teams often feel like contortionists trying to keep everything aligned. This is where the HR AI solutions from companies like Deel make a massive impact.
Deel’s AI assistant helps with workforce planning from day one, providing comprehensive insights into global headcount, talent gaps, and opportunities. Scenario planning and approvals sync into an ATS so nothing slips through. The sourcing and hiring tools collect data from staffing partners, help with publishing roles worldwide, and screen for relevant candidates.
They even support teams with salary benchmarking and manage compensation with suggestions based on role, geography, and equity. Then, the employee copilot migrates into the onboarding experience, helping new hires slide seamlessly into new roles. With these tools, CBIP, a logistics company, reduced hiring and onboarding costs by 50-60 percent and accelerated onboarding time by 50 percent.
Since the same AI technology is embedded into every aspect of the HR platform, there are no gaps in data, no jumping from one tool to another – everything stays aligned. That means teams can make decisions faster, and compliance risks are minimized.
Improving the Business Experience for Employees
It’s easy to get stuck on the idea of optimizing customer experience when investing in AI copilots. But employee experience is just as crucial. Teams need to be informed, supported, and empowered if they’re going to unlock their full potential. Unfortunately, delivering all that to a global or hybrid team isn’t exactly a walk in the park.
Deel’s AI-powered HR platform is packed with features that optimize and automate employee engagement and support. There are AI-powered tools for delivering educational resources to staff, collecting feedback from surveys, and tracking performance. Team members can even ask the employee copilot for tips on career management.
The AI tools can plug into Slack and answer questions on PTO, shift switching, or just give kudos to high-performing staff. All of this is available to your people 24/7. Wondering if your benefits include dental in Mexico at 5am? The employee copilot can answer.
All the while, the same tech is helping business leaders and HR teams make decisions that improve the employee experience, offering insights into equity in the workplace, engagement levels, course completion rates, and more. Puma South Africa says the employee copilot they embedded with Deel has reduced work for its HR teams and improved staff satisfaction rates.
AI as a Business Management Tool: Insights and Compliance
Companies often juggle multiple dashboards to answer simple questions like: “What’s our headcount?” “Are we diverse?” or “Are our teams and resources secured?” Deel’s AI-powered HR system turns that fragmented process into a one-step query for leaders. The employee copilot can share insights on DEI metrics, turnover, and staff engagement levels.
Team leaders can track compliance without headaches with a business experience-focused assistant that cross-checks contracts, payrolls, and local labor policies behind the scenes. Devsavant used these tools to compliantly hire 400+ workers across 15 new countries. The AI features even reduced administration time by 77 percent, leading to $12k monthly savings in admin costs.
On the IT operations side, mobile device management and endpoint protection fuse into that same experience. The AI system can trigger security scans, revoke access for former employees, manage app permissions, and suggest identity management updates.
When someone leaves, it coordinates everything: device return, account deactivation, offboarding surveys, and final payroll adjustments. With a little AI support, business leaders can simultaneously reduce risks, improve employee experiences, enhance their brand reputation, and cut costs.
The Complete Business Experience: AI Across the Employee Lifecycle
Deel isn’t the only company experimenting with AI’s potential for HR management and employee experience. Microsoft has embedded AI into its Viva platform. Companies like ServiceNow use AI to assist with handling employee support requests. Countless hiring platforms also offer tools for streamlining candidate selection with AI analysis.
What Deel offers is synergy. AI combines, aligns, and enhances every aspect of the business experience and employee lifecycle, from recruitment to training and offboarding. The AI aligns headcount planning, hiring, onboarding, engagement, compliance, and exit processes into a single, cohesive roadmap for improving business operations.
At the same time, Deel still keeps humans in the loop. It might offer an AI-first platform, but its services team is still on hand for human-led support related to background checks, immigration policies, entity setup, and equity consulting.
The customer success stories prove the ROI is massive. Climate-KIC, for instance, saved more than $600k in operational costs while setting up seven new entities worldwide with support from Deel. Senders, an email prospecting company, saved $10k per month in hiring and onboarding costs.
But the benefits aren’t just financial. They come in the form of happier, more engaged, and more aligned teams, fewer risks and compliance errors, and enhanced productivity and efficiency for every segment of the business.
Reimagining Work with an AI-Powered Business Partner
Most companies are still figuring out the best ways to embed AI into the workplace. Many employees are still concerned that AI will displace them or make their lives harder. But when you can see AI functioning as a true employee copilot, strengthening the business experience across the enterprise, it becomes a lot more compelling.
Deel’s AI-powered HR platform shows teams what AI can do inside the organization before it branches out into customer service processes or content creation. This tech fits naturally into existing workflows, supporting HR teams as they grow across borders, giving employees clarity on their own journeys, and helping business leaders make the right decisions.
As teams continue to spread globally and operations become more complex, these tools will take off. They’ll become critical to how companies deliver a cohesive, confident business experience, from onboarding to offboarding and everything in between.
