Microsoft Copilot for HR Teams: Prompts, Workflows, Agents

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

Your company switched on Microsoft Copilot. Nobody showed HR what to do with it.

In ten lessons you turn Copilot into working HR workflows, from a policy draft to your own HR agent, without putting employee data at risk.

Most HR teams open Copilot, ask it to polish an email and close it. The rest of the week goes the old way: a policy rewritten from scratch, the same announcement typed for the third time, a job description copied from last year, review season spent turning scattered notes into something fair, a turnover report rebuilt by hand every month. Meanwhile nobody is sure what Copilot can see, which license they have or what employee data is safe to paste.

After this course you know exactly what your access gives you and use it every day. A policy draft comes from your own company files and passes a review checklist before it reaches the lawyer. Employee messages start from a facts box, so names, dates and numbers stay exact, and sensitive news gets a tone check. A new vacancy gets a full hiring kit in one pass, a new hire gets a 30-60-90 plan and a day-one deck, and managers get review drafts built on evidence instead of adjectives. HR meetings end with a recap and a task list, your turnover report in Excel is checked formula by formula, and a simple HR agent answers routine policy questions while complex cases go to a person.

The course is built and taught by Mike:

• 20 years in HR at Wargaming, Preply, iDeals, Starlightmedia and Alfa-Bank; built the HR system of the unicorn Preply

• PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certified, HRCI representative in Eastern Europe

• #1 HR instructor on Udemy with 2,000,000+ students on Udemy; founder of PapaHR Academy, where 170,000+ students have trained

• Author of the Claude for HR, ChatGPT for HR, Gemini for HR and HR AI Agents courses at PapaHR Academy

The course follows the employee lifecycle. First you map your Copilot access across Microsoft 365 and set the rules for employee data. Then you go through the HR year with Copilot: policies in Word, employee communications in Outlook and Teams, recruiting, onboarding, performance reviews and HR meetings in Teams. Finally you move to the work that scales: HR reporting in Excel, your first HR agent built without code, and Microsoft Copilot for learning and development, from training needs analysis to evaluation 30 days after the program.

Every lesson stands on its own. If a vacancy opens tomorrow, start with the recruiting lesson and build the hiring kit tonight. The free Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat on your work account is enough for every assignment. Features of the paid Microsoft 365 Copilot license are marked in every lesson and shown on clear interface mockups, together with a free path wherever one exists. Microsoft renames features and changes licenses often, so every lesson also shows how to check what your own account has today. Examples use fictional employees and round illustrative numbers that you replace with your own.

Copilot Chat already sits inside the Microsoft 365 apps HR opens every morning. HR teams that build their own workflows now set the rules for employee data and free hours every week for the people work; teams that wait inherit rules written by someone else. Every month you delay is another month of policies, reports and review season done by hand.
