AI Answers 12 Employee Questions Before Lunch

For many employees, the first half of the day is filled with small but necessary tasks: checking benefits, requesting time off, or tracking down a policy. Each question is important, but together they can easily take up valuable time. That’s where an AI assistant for your employees' steps in, streamlining access to information and support without interrupting the flow of work.

Here’s a look at just how much ground an AI assistant can cover before lunchtime.

‍

1. “How many sick days do I have left?”

Instead of emailing HR and waiting for a reply, employees can ask the AI assistant and get an instant answer directly from the HR systems.

‍

2. “What’s the process for scheduling paid time off (PTO)?”

Rather than stumbling to find this information in the payroll system or on a pay slip, employees receive the exact steps in the time off request process and related guidelines in seconds.

‍

3. “When do performance reviews start this year?”

Searching for the exact dates on the company intranet can be frustrating, when the AI Assistant can answer with the specific start and end dates of the performance appraisal time frames – including an outline of the process so you can prepare for your involvement in the self-evaluation.

‍

‍4. “Where can I find the remote work policy?”

Policies are often buried in intranets or outdated PDFs. The AI assistant makes them searchable and accessible immediately, so as the information changes, you have access to the most recent policy.

‍

5. “How do I reset my system password?”

IT queries are some of the most frequent interruptions in a workday. The AI assistant can share step-by-step instructions to reset a password or even trigger automated resets.

‍

6. “Who approves my expenses?”

Instead of chasing down answers on lengthy expense report documents, employees are engaged and can quickly see their assigned approver and the steps needed to submit claims.

‍

7. “Can I check my remaining wellness stipend?”

Whether it’s gym reimbursements or wellness allowances, the AI assistant gives employees an up-to-date balance in real time.

‍

8. “What holidays do we have this year?”

No need to scroll through calendars—the AI assistant provides a quick snapshot of official company holidays, in multiple countries.

‍

9. “Where do I submit a facilities request?”

From broken chairs to room bookings, the AI assistant routes employees to the correct facilities team without delays.

‍

10. “How do I update my banking details?”

Sensitive HR tasks, like payroll changes, can be explained clearly and securely through the assistant, reducing back-and-forth emails.

‍

11. “What’s the dress code for client meetings?”

Even culture-related questions are easy to answer, with predefined responses that reflect company standards.

‍

12. “Where do I access learning and development courses?”

Instead of navigating multiple platforms, employees get a direct link to training modules that match their role and their personal development needs.
