AI for internal policy and HR answers

Can staff ask our own handbook questions?

The challenge

The same procedural questions reach a small number of people, and answers differ depending on who is asked.

Prerequisites

  • A current, version-controlled handbook

The approach

  • Retrieve only over approved, current policy documents with the version cited
  • Refuse rather than guess where the handbook is silent, and log the gap
  • Exclude anything touching individual employment decisions
  • Use logged gaps as the backlog for policy improvement

What makes it work

Unanswerable questions become a documented policy backlog instead of a confident invention.
