Aon has taken the limelight at the 2019 APS Workplace Excellence Awards, which recognises excellence in supporting employee health and psychological wellbeing while enhancing organisational performance.
Aon’s Assessment Solutions, part of Aon’s Global Human Capital Solutions, won the award in the category of Emerging Directions in Organisational Psychology for its vidAssess-AI product in Australia, which combines AI and video interviewing for unbiased and fair hiring.
Aon’s vidAssess-AI product was recognised for its innovation in design and application, utilisation of psychological knowledge, impact on the organisation, and sustainability.
“Winning the award is so important because our approach to AI and video interviewing is a true innovation in the market,” said Stefan Hinrichsen, principal consultant and head of sales at Aon’s Assessment Solutions Pacific. “The important question is ‘What should AI do?’ not ‘What can AI do?’ which opens up a new world of opportunities for employers. By focussing on speech to text only, and using a natural language processing artificial intelligence, we eliminate human bias and ensure a legally defendable, fair, and transparent process. This is setting new standards in the assessment industry and ensures clients receive a valid and scientifically proven recruitment process, while reducing the time to hire.”
