Case Studies / HR Policy Assistant

HR Policy Assistant
Built with Copilot Studio

A company wanted staff to get answers about HR policy straight away, drawn from its own knowledge hub rather than from whoever happened to be free to ask.

The problem behind the work

Staff regularly had questions about HR policy, and the answers sat in documents on a SharePoint knowledge hub that people had to find and read for themselves.

Questions that could have been answered from those documents still went to people, and the advice given depended on who was asked.

  • Policies spread across documents

    The answer was in the knowledge hub, but finding the right document took time.

  • The same questions, repeatedly

    Routine policy questions kept returning to the people who knew the answers.

  • Advice that varied

    Different people could give different answers to the same question.

  • Hard to search

    Staff had to know where to look before they could find what the policy said.

What was delivered

A Copilot Studio agent grounded on the company's SharePoint knowledge hub, so staff can ask a question and be advised according to the company's own policies.

Grounded on your content

The agent is grounded on the knowledge hub, so its advice reflects the company's own policies.

Ask in plain language

Staff engage with the agent as they would a colleague, and ask their question in their own words.

Advice on policy

Users are advised accordingly, rather than being left to interpret the documents themselves.

Inside your Microsoft environment

Built with Copilot Studio and SharePoint, using the content the company already maintains.

Content stays where it lives
