Copilot for HR Foundations.
Your HR team has Copilot (either free or License). Nobody knows what to do with it.
You've been given access to one of the most powerful AI tools ever built for the workplace.
And right now, it's sitting there. Unopened. Underused. Or worse - being used without anyone understanding the risks.
This changes today.
Because whether HR is ready or not, AI is already changing how decisions are made in your organisation.
Right now, HR is either becoming more strategic with AI, or becoming irrelevant to it.
Copilot for HR Foundations is a practical, hands-on programme that takes you from "I don't even know where to start" to confidently using Copilot in your HR role - safely, credibly, and with something real to show your leadership team by the end of the day.
You stop reacting to AI conversations and start leading them.
I have run training for other organisations, this is my first Foundations programme I am running for myself, hence the founding cohort pricing.
£197 - One programme. 3 x 90 minute sessions, spread over 3 consecutive days.
PLACES ARE LIMITED TO 20. This is the first cohort, and I’m keeping it deliberately small so it stays hands-on.
This is the first and lowest price this programme will ever be offered at.
You'll need access to Copilot, either the free browser version at copilot.microsoft.com or your M365 licence, we'll cover the difference on Day 1.
If you’re in HR and you know you can’t ignore AI anymore, this is where you start.
If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place:
Your organisation rolled out Copilot licences three months ago. You opened it once, typed something vague, got a weird answer, and closed it again.
Meanwhile, the board is asking for an AI strategy. Your CEO forwarded an article about "AI transforming HR" with a one-line email: "Where are we on this?"
You don't have an answer. Not because you're behind. Because nobody taught you how to use this thing in a way that's actually safe for HR.
Here's what's really going on:
You open Copilot, stare at the blank prompt box, and think "what am I even allowed to type in here?"
You've heard about data risks and you're terrified of being the person who put employee grievance details into an AI tool
Your team is either avoiding Copilot completely or using it with no guidelines, and both feel dangerous
You know AI is not going away, but every "AI training" you've seen is generic tech content that has nothing to do with HR realities
You're watching other HR leaders talk confidently about AI on LinkedIn and wondering what they know that you don't
You're not behind. You've just never been shown how to do this properly - with HR risk, not tech curiosity, as the starting point.
This is not another AI awareness talk.
You will not sit through slides about "the future of work." You will not watch someone demo ChatGPT and tell you to "experiment."
You will open Copilot. You will use it. You will build things you can actually take back to your desk and use on Monday morning.
By the end of this programme, you will walk away with:
Your HR AI Direction Statement — A clear, values-led statement your team can use immediately. Not vague. Not aspirational. Something you can put in front of your Head of HR or your board and say "this is where we stand."
A Data Safety Map — A Red, Amber, Green classification of what HR can and cannot put into Copilot. No more guessing. No more risk.
A Prompt Library That Actually Works for HR — Not generic "write me an email" prompts. Prompts built for policies, employee comms, ER scenarios, recruitment, and the real messy stuff HR deals with every day.
A Quick Win Plan — One specific, repeatable workflow you can implement in your role this week. Not theory. A thing you will actually do.
A Certificate of Completion — Evidence to add to your CV.
BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Walk into your next leadership meeting with a clear AI position
Answer ‘where are we on AI?’ without hesitation
Demonstrate safe AI use to your team immediately
Introducing the 3D AI Framework for HR
Most AI training starts with prompts.
That's like handing someone car keys before they've seen a road.
Copilot for HR Foundations is built on the 3D Framework — the same approach used with HR teams across the UK who are implementing Copilot right now.
DIRECTION
Before you touch a prompt, you need to know where AI fits in your HR function — and where it doesn't. You'll define your boundaries, your red lines, and your position. This is how you go from "we should probably do something about AI" to "here's exactly what we're doing and why."
DATA
HR handles the most sensitive data in any organisation. Employee grievances. Health records. Performance issues. Disciplinary outcomes. You need to know — clearly and simply — what goes into Copilot and what stays out. No ambiguity. No grey areas you have to guess about.
DECISIONS
AI should save you time on the right things, not create new risks on the wrong things. You'll learn how to identify which HR tasks are quick wins for Copilot, which need caution, and which should never go near it. Then you'll build your first repeatable workflow — something you'll actually use..
You won't just learn this. You'll do it.
Welcome to your first week as HR AI Lead at Cog & Quirk.
Throughout the programme, you step into a realistic HR scenario at a fictional company. Every decision you make mirrors what you'll face in your real role:
An employee has used Copilot to draft a grievance response without telling anyone
Your Head of HR wants an "AI policy" by Friday
A manager asks if they can use Copilot to write a PIP
The CEO wants to know why HR hasn't "done something with AI yet"
You'll respond to these. You'll classify them. You'll use Copilot to draft real outputs — safely.
This is where the confidence actually comes from. Not from watching. From doing.
WHAT'S INSIDE: 3 SESSIONS, 3 DAYS - ONE TRANSFORMATION
Day 1 (Wednesday 20 May, 2pm BST) — Access & Foundations
What Copilot actually is, where it sits in your HR workflows, and the difference between the free browser version and your M365 licence.
You'll open Copilot, run your first safe task, and learn the prompting structure that turns vague requests into useful outputs.
You'll leave Day 1 with your first working prompts and the confidence to open Copilot tomorrow morning at your desk.
Day 2 (Thursday 21 May, 2pm BST) — Safe Use & Data
The bit most AI training skips entirely.
Data sensitivity, the Red/Amber/Green classification model, what HR should never input, when anonymisation isn't enough, and the 5-point output check you'll use every single time.
You'll classify real HR scenarios, build your Data Safety Map, and draft your HR AI Direction Statement. Built for HR risk, not general business.
Day 3 (Friday 22 May, 2pm BST) — Decisions & Your Quick Win Plan
Real HR use cases - policies, employee comms, ER scenarios, recruitment support, manager briefings.
You'll pick one repeatable workflow, classify it for safety, build the prompt, test it live, and walk away with a Quick Win Plan you can implement the following Monday.
Plus an end-of-course HR Situation Challenge to test everything you've learned.
By the end, you’ll leave with:
- Your own HR AI Direction Statement
- A simple Data Safety Map for HR use
- A prioritised quick win plan
- A mini HR prompt library
If day one is not what you expected, let me know and I'll refund you (no hoops, no hard feelings).
BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO'S ACTUALLY DONE THE JOB
I understand your world because I've lived it.
I'm not a tech consultant who pivoted to HR.
I'm an HR professional with 35 years in the trenches - HR Manager, HR Business Partner, Head of HR, Learning & Development Partner across multiple industries.
I've sat in disciplinaries. I've handled the restructures. I've written the policies at midnight before a board meeting.
I became obsessed with making AI actually work for our profession because I watched too many HR teams get handed Copilot licences with zero guidance and zero governance. That's not transformation. That's a risk event waiting to happen.
My credentials:
35 years in HR and L&D across multiple industries
FCIPD in 2011 (for transparency, membership since lapsed, though my HR and L&D professional development has continued)
Former Head of HR, HR Manager, Learning & Development Business Partner, Recruitment specialist and HR Business Partner
Trusted by training organisations across the UK to deliver AI for HR programmes
Level 3 Award in Training and Education
Microsoft AI Business Professional Certification
I built this programme because HR professionals deserve better than generic AI training that ignores everything that makes our work different.
What others have said about working with me:
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
You're an HR professional - in-house, HR team, HRBP, HR Manager, HR Director, HR Consultant
Your organisation has Copilot (or is about to roll it out) and nobody's been shown how to use it properly
You know AI matters but you don't know where to start without creating risk
You want something practical you can use immediately, not theory you'll forget
You're responsible for setting the standard on how your team uses AI
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
You want deep technical AI training or coding
You already have a fully embedded AI strategy with governance in place and are using Copilot to it's fully advantage
You're looking for general productivity tips, not HR-specific guidance
“I’m not technical”
Good. Neither are the HR professionals I built this for.
If you can use Outlook and Teams, you can do this.
“I'm worried about the data risks”
That's exactly why you need this.
Module 4 is entirely dedicated to what's safe, what's not, and how to make that call confidently every time.
“I don’t have time for training”
90 minutes. That's it. Three sessions across three days, 2pm each day.
You can block it in your calendar right now.
Why 3 sessions over 3 days (not a full-day workshop)?
Because the 3-day format is designed so you learn something, try it at your desk, and come back the next day with real questions.
Each session builds on the last, and by Day 3 you're not just learning - you're already using Copilot in your actual work.
Day 1: You learn the foundations and open Copilot for the first time with confidence.
That afternoon: You try a prompt on your own. Something clicks. Something doesn't. You have a specific question.
Day 2: You come back with that question. We cover safe use and governance. You build your Data Safety Map.
That afternoon: You classify a real HR task using the RAG model. You realise how much you were guessing before.
Day 3: You build your Quick Win Plan. You leave with a workflow you can use on Monday.
3 days. 90 minutes each. No overwhelm. Real learning.
Copilot is already in your organisation.
The question is not whether HR will use it.
The question is whether you'll be the one who knows how to use it safely - or the one still figuring it out six months from now.
