How will the UAW strike impact other employers?

Three key ways in which symptoms of the strike has permeated the employee "zeitgeist."

1. Inflationary pressures to raise wages (people want 💰)
2. Cost-cutting on the production floor alienating quality-focused employees (people want to build what they believe in 🫶)
3. Mass-layoffs and use of gig workers to replace FTEs fueling employee resentment (people don't like to be replaced by a cheaper version of them 😡)

The released a paper earlier this year on Defining and Classifying AI in the Workplace. Here are the key use cases we found from an employer's perspective:

*AI Use Cases*
AI for Staffing Needs and Goals: AI can help understand staffing needs and ensure that applications meet pre-stated goals.

AI for Worker Productivity: AI can act as a tool that enables workers to work more productively or more accurately, without substituting them. For example, AI can improve the precision and speed of predictions used in decision-making tasks.

AI for Monitoring and Management: AI can change how work is monitored and managed, offering a more data-driven and time-efficient approach to people management.

Tackling AI Privacy Concerns: AI-enabled monitoring tools often rely on the collection and processing of worker data, which can introduce privacy issues.

AI for Task Scheduling: AI-enabled monitoring and scheduling tools can affect job quality by increasing work intensity.

AI for Bias Detection: AI can detect and compensate for possible biases, especially in hiring and monitoring tools.

5 HR Predictions That Played Out (and 3 That Didn’t)

Pretty good set of predictions from AIHR Academy to Innovate HR, though out in the field we knew metaverse was a bust for the use case. That doesn't mean that an opportunity to increase connectivity and gamify readiness does not exist.

What we predict for 2024:
1. Greater focus on Asynchronous Work.
2. Organizations will re-evaluate team makeup, augmenting key team members with agency and gig work elements.
3. DEI becomes fragmented, with pratitioners having to do more with less budget.
4. Demand for administrative HR roles drops precipitously.
5. AI prompting and automation competency becomes a top demanded People Ops skill.
