Claude Cowork: What HR Leaders Need to Know Before Using It

HR means documents. Employment contracts, onboarding checklists, policy drafts, comp benchmarks, board reports. The real work is the decision. But getting there eats time.

Claude Cowork is a new tool from Anthropic that promises to help with exactly that. An AI agent that works directly with your local files, executes multi-step tasks, and delivers finished documents. Sounds great. But it also means an AI model with access to your file system, your employee data, and your browser.

Paul Karrmann (founder of Secureless and Linnx, with a background leading People & Ops at BCG Digital Ventures, ZEAL Network, and FinLeap) will walk through what Cowork is, what it can do, what it probably shouldn't do, and what you need to have in place before you let it anywhere near your files.

• What Cowork actually is and how it differs from ChatGPT and similar tools
• How to set it up and what you need
• Which HR tasks it handles well today
• Where the real risks are, especially around employee data and confidentiality
• Walkthroughs and examples from real HR workflows

This session is for HR leaders who want an honest picture before deciding whether this belongs in their stack.
