The effects of AI on the human resources (HR) profession is the focus of this edition of Business Day Spotlight. Host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Sheryll Kisten, head of HR at Stadio Higher Education. 

Kisten outlines Stadio’s approach to integrating AI into the HR curriculum at Stadio, as well as its own internal processes. 

Stadio, which was unbundled from Curro and listed on the JSE in October 2017, owns three large higher education institutions: Stadio Higher Education, Milpark Education and Afda.

Join the discussion: 

Stadio Higher Education offers qualifications across various disciplines, Milpark Education specialises in online distance learning and Afda focuses on creative arts programmes.

Kisten says her team is using AI to improve their internal processes. She advocates for professionals to have a full grasp of their roles, so that the use of AI is as a tool and not a leader for how someone works. 

Topics of discussion include the evolution of the HR profession and processes; incorporation of AI into HR courses; the company’s own use of AI in HR; and Stadio’s business model.
