Guide

AI is already delivering productivity gains. Sustaining them depends on how roles, workloads, and expectations evolve alongside the technology.

Benefits leaders have a valuable view into how those changes are affecting the workforce. This guide explores five conditions that can strengthen—or undermine—people’s ability to adapt and perform, and how benefits leaders can bring that insight into the broader AI conversation.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Spot where AI-driven changes to roles, workloads, autonomy, and connection can affect performance
  • Bring workforce insight into decisions about how work evolves around AI
  • Support managers and employees as they adapt to new expectations and ways of working
