APPlied Humans at Work

Today's post is courtesy of Joyce Maroney, Executive Director of the Workforce Institute. Joyce recently spoke with Julia Hobsbawm to discuss her new research entitled "APPlied Humans at Work. This research focuses on how organizations are preparing for the increasing convergence of humans and artificial intelligence in the workplace. It is no surprise that the rise of more and more smart technology in the workplace has created new pressures and challenges for workers. While productivity boosting technologies like mobile devices, the apps that fuel them, and artificial intelligence can enhance our lives at work, they can also increase the likelihood of fatigue, burnout and job insecurity if leaders aren't concerning themselves with the human side of these strategies. Below, you can listen to the podcast I recently recorded with Julia to review the results of this research.
