These AI tools are helping benefit leaders do their jobs faster and more efficiently

Published August 26, 2025 12:00 PM EDT 2 Min Read

Artificial intelligence can be a great ally for benefit leaders looking to better support their workforce — they just need the right tools.

More than 70% of HR and benefit teams are already using or planning to use artificial intelligence in their functions, according to a survey by HR management platform Elevate. But it can be a daunting endeavor to begin the implementation process, which is why it’s important for leaders to be thoughtful, intentional and educated when it comes to their AI tool curation.

Determining salaries is one of the most critical pieces to attracting and retaining talent, and technology could keep the process simple for leaders and fair for employees.

Over 70% of U.S. companies use AI in some capacity, including compensation decision making, according to business networking platform Connex Partners. While benefit managers may feel uncomfortable relying on automation for something as complex and sensitive as deciding salaries, it has the potential to drastically improve the process for them, as well as current and prospective employees.
