AI Tools to Boost
Workplace Productivity
Put today's AI assistants to work on real, everyday tasks — writing, summarising, research and data — and get hours back each week. Hands-on, no jargon, and fully HRD Corp claimable.
The tools are here — most people just use them badly
AI assistants can genuinely save a knowledge worker hours a week: drafting emails, summarising long documents, turning messy notes into action lists, doing first-pass research, tidying spreadsheets. Yet most people either don't use them, or type a vague one-liner, get a mediocre answer, and give up.
This hands-on course closes that gap. Your team learns which tool to reach for, how to ask well, and how to apply AI to the actual work in front of them — safely and without overtrusting it. They leave using it on day one, not "someday".
What your team will be able to do
- Understand what today's AI assistants are genuinely good at — and where they fall short.
- Write clear, effective prompts and refine them to get usable results.
- Apply AI to everyday work: email and writing, summaries, meeting notes, research and drafting.
- Use AI inside documents, slides and spreadsheets to speed up real deliverables.
- Build simple, repeatable prompt templates and light workflows.
- Check AI output critically, and know what must never be pasted into a public tool.
- Estimate where the biggest time savings are in their own role.
What's covered
The AI landscape
What general AI assistants can and can't do, the main categories of tools, and where each earns its place in a workday.
Prompting that works
Giving context, examples and a clear format; iterating on a result; and the small habits that separate a great answer from a useless one.
Everyday work tasks
Email and writing, summarising long documents and threads, turning meeting notes into actions, and first-pass research and drafting.
AI in documents & data
Speeding up documents and slides, and using AI to clean, structure and make sense of spreadsheet data.
Templates & simple workflows
Building reusable prompt templates, chaining a few steps together, and where light automation is worth it.
Using AI responsibly
Verifying output, recognising its limits and bias, protecting confidential and personal data, and setting a sensible team policy.
