The problem

What this workflow costs today.

01HR as a help desk

HR business partners spend their days answering the same policy and leave questions.

02Slow and inconsistent answers

Employees wait days, and answers vary by who picks up the query.

03Two languages, one policy

Arabic and English versions of policy drift apart and confuse employees.

04No view of demand

HR cannot see which topics generate queries or where policy is unclear.

Three services, two languages

Answers in seconds, judgement where it matters.

One agent front door for employees, with HR in control of every topic.

How it works

The AiX™ loop, applied end to end.

Every agent follows the same five steps, so behaviour is predictable and every step leaves evidence.

1
Observe

Approved HR policies in Arabic and English, SuccessFactors employee data, case history and HR calendars.

2
Reason

Understands the question, identifies the policy and the employee’s own data that apply.

3
Decide

Answers if the policy is clear and the data is available; escalates if judgement, exception or sensitivity is involved.

4
Act

Responds in under 60 seconds, opens a case when needed, and confirms the outcome with the employee.

5
Learn

Flags unclear policies and frequent questions for HR to improve the handbook.

The agent team

Specialist agents, separated by duty.

No single agent both proposes and approves. Each one has a narrow job, its own tools and its own permissions.

Policy Agent

Answers policy questions from the approved handbook and cites the clause in the employee’s language.

Employee Data Agent

Reads leave balances, payslips and entitlements from SuccessFactors for the authenticated employee.

Case Agent

Opens, routes and tracks cases that need an HR decision, with the conversation attached.

Insight Agent

Reports query themes, resolution rates and policy gaps to the HR leadership team.

Autonomy you can govern, trace and control.

Speed comes from autonomy. Trust comes from the three things around it. This is how each is designed into HR Service.

Autonomy

Routine questions are answered end to end, day or night; sensitive topics go straight to a person.

Governance

Only approved policy versions are used, and HR controls which topics the agent may answer.

Traceability

Every answer cites the policy clause and version, and every conversation is retained per policy.

Control

HR can switch topics on or off, review answers and correct the knowledge base at any time.

AiX™Authentic AIExplainable, traceable, reconcilable
Autonomy bands

What the agent does alone, and what it never does.

Bands are agreed with the business before go-live and widened only on evidence from the pilot.

Outcomes & measurement

Every metric has a baseline and a method.

Success metrics are agreed before build and signed off with the client after the pilot.

MetricTargetHow we measure

Policy error rate< 3%HR-reviewed sample of answers
Employee satisfactionTrackedPost-answer rating

Pilot results are company-reported and engagement-specific. Figures and names in decision records are illustrative.

How we deliver

The A.G.E.N.T. Method.

Agentic process reengineering, one workflow at a time.

AAudit

Map how the workflow really runs today, with owners, data lineage and the tacit rules.

GGauge

Agree the business outcome, the baseline and the success metrics before build.

EEngineer

Redesign for agent-first execution: agents, tools, rules and autonomy bands.

NNavigate

Pilot inside your controls, train owners and move bands only on evidence.

TTrack

Measure against the baseline and report the result the business signed off.

Start with one workflow, one agent and one measurable result.

Book a working session with our team in Dubai, Riyadh or the UK. We will map the workflow, agree the metric and show the agent running on data like yours.
