The People Impact of AI: Does AI Help or Harm Employee Engagement?
Tuesday, April 29 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the workplace, enhancing productivity, streamlining workflows, and creating new avenues for growth and innovation. Beyond efficiency, AI has the potential to elevate employee engagement by enabling personalized career development, smarter collaboration, and more meaningful work. But as AI takes on a greater role in daily tasks, how can organizations ensure it enhances—rather than diminishes—the human experience at work? Will AI free employees to focus on creativity and strategic thinking, or will it introduce challenges that leaders must actively navigate?
This webinar will explore how senior leaders, managers, and HR professionals can proactively shape an AI-powered workplace that fosters trust, inclusion, and connection. Join us as we discuss strategies to maximize AI’s benefits, while safeguarding engagement, well-being, and workplace relationships in an era of rapid transformation.
Join us Tuesday, April 29, at 12:00 p.m. EST, for a thought-provoking discussion on how to integrate AI while keeping people at the center of the workplace experience. The Diversity Movement’s Jackie Ferguson will lead our panel of experts in a discussion that explores:
- Overcoming Fear & Misconceptions – How can leaders address concerns about job loss and shift the conversation to upskilling and new opportunities?
- Personalized Learning & Career Development – How AI-powered tools and career navigation systems are changing workforce expectations and talent mobility.
- Enhancing Communication & Collaboration – AI-driven platforms are making communication more efficient, but human review is crucial. How can leaders retain authenticity as they use AI to streamline their workflow?
- Boosting Well-Being & Reducing Burnout – How can AI help prevent burnout and optimize workloads?
- Creating Inclusive & Equitable Work Environments – How should leaders approach concerns around bias, ethical use and unintended consequences?
