- AI Needs Empathy and Transparency: Integrating AI and automation at work requires open, empathetic communication to address anxiety and build trust with employees.
- Reduce Wasted Effort with Smart Tools: Organizations can reclaim up to 40% of employees’ time from non-value tasks by using technology strategically, freeing people up for more impactful work.
- Use Simple Frameworks for Impact: Measurable approaches like Deloitte’s four factors of trust make it easier for leaders to address and improve the people side of business.
