AI is the new workplace issue dividing managers and employees
"64% of managers feel pressure to "adopt AI to stay competitive," while only 38% of employees echoed that sentiment; another 36% of employees said they feel no pressure to do so. This divide reflects fundamentally different perspectives on AI's role in the workplace."
"58% of managers believe AI use is growing into an "unspoken performance requirement," while just 29% of employees feel the same. Another 37% of employees are simply unsure of what is expected of them, highlighting confusion about AI expectations."
"Managers are finding more use for AI, as they automate more administrative tasks that free them up to spend their energy elsewhere; some managers are even using AI to help make decisions. Employees, on the other hand, find that even when they save time by using AI, it can also create additional work."
