Chatbots, especially those driven by Artificial Intelligence have shown ample user experience benefits and thus made their position within the eCommerce industry more than anywhere else. However, the use of Chatbots also holds a wide range of employee experience benefits, some of which we’re going to examine in this article. We’ll go through real-life examples that show how the use of Chatbots helps employees across various industries improve their productivity, efficiency, and professional development.

Chatbots save employee time and effort

Recruitment companies spend time gathering data, profiling, and screening candidates, however, the bulk of that work is made up of daunting, repetitive tasks that simply draw HR company employees from more urgent matters. With the rise of AI-driven Chatbots, candidates can now respond to inquiries and leave their information with automated software solutions, leaving human employees with enough time to perform those more detailed parts of the recruitment process that machines just couldn’t perform.

Also, thanks to the marriage of big data and AI technology, chatbots can now perform screening processes much faster and more precisely than any human worker, which leaves HR professionals with a shortlist of the most suitable candidates. According to research, human error in the talent recruitment process includes narrow search radius, neglecting social media, and many other points that normally wouldn’t happen with Chatbots.

Customer service improvement

When it comes to eCommerce, Chatbots are probably most useful in this industry because of the very nature of this type of business. Consumers that purchase online products need simple and fast answers to questions that concern product details, delivery information, and reporting various issues. These are all aspects of consumer interaction that Chatbots can perform without any need for human interaction. Instead of answering mundane questions, the employee can focus on those clients that have more pressing or complex issues to be resolved.

Offering 24/7 customer service is a must in today’s online shopping, especially if you plan to take over the global market. However, this means having your staff memorize details of every product and going through constant training instead of focusing on improving other aspects of your business and enlarging your revenue. Moreover, chatbots can run a quick analysis of a consumer’s purchase history to deliver personalized customer service in terms of offering similar products or fix delivery and payment issues.

Employee training process facilitation

When it comes to training staff members, AI-driven chatbots offer a series of benefits, especially nowadays when COVID-19 pandemic forces business owners to hire remote workers and reduce interpersonal communication as a sanitary measure. Many training software solutions offer integration of AI-chatbot guides that follow the progress of each employee individually and craft future challenges and training programs accordingly. This means that integrated AI chatbots replace actual HR staff members or external trainers, which saves money, whilst providing a comprehensive upskilling or reskilling experience to employees remotely. The fact that each employee gets an “individual trainer and mentor” means that your workforce gets a personalized learning experience that focuses on their individual strengths and weaknesses.

Conclusion

These were just some of the most notable benefits that Chatbots carry in terms of employee experience. We’ve seen that these software solutions enhance employee efficiency and productivity by allowing them to focus on more pressing or complex tasks while these smart pieces of software deal with more mundane work.

 Also, we’ve seen how chatbots can help employees stay safe and improve their professional skills remotely with the same effectiveness as if they have been trained by humans. The borders of Chatbot usability are determined only by our creativity and industry standards, which is why we can rest assured that in the future these types of software will find more room for implementation.
