🌟 Want to protect your company from disruption? It's all about creating a successful workforce! 🚀
The past few years have been filled with constant disruption, from pandemics to economic instability. Workers are feeling disengaged and burnt out, questioning where, how, and why they work. Enter gen AI, the emergence of new technologies that have the potential to address productivity challenges. But here's the catch: if not managed properly, the adoption of gen #AI could actually accelerate the burnout cycle.
According to recent research by McKinsey & Company, employees who are not burnt out stay in their jobs because they have flexibility, meaningful work, and support for their #wellbeing. And here's the exciting part: the demand for gen AI talent is expected to grow rapidly, changing the nature of work for millions of people, not just those in the tech industry. This means freeing up employees to focus on more human tasks that involve #judgment, #innovation, #creativity, and #collaboration.
To create a #thriving workplace, leaders must rethink work, the workplace, and the worker. It's about moving away from viewing employees as mere cogs in the machine and instead recognizing them as elite artists or athletes who perform at the highest levels. Building a thriving culture requires a holistic approach to well-being, where physical, mental, and social aspects are all taken into consideration. #ThrivingWorkforce #EmployeeWellBeing

6moThis is insightful Marwa, thank you for sharing! It reminds me of Steven Kotler's The Art of Impossible where a sports journalist drew the parallel between high performers and elite atheletes. This article actually mentioned a new skillset where high-performing non-managers might "manage AI", making judgments to delegate certain tasks to gen AI. What a world!
