AI promises productivity, but for managers, it’s mostly a headache for now
A Nielsen survey for Monday.com indicates that while managers are enthusiastic about AI's productivity potential, it's creating challenges like difficulty in evaluating employee work and increased review time. Managers are adapting by focusing on prompt creation and task delegation, but the rapid pace of AI development is outpacing organizational adaptation.
Why it matters
This highlights the evolving impact of AI on workplace dynamics and management practices, indicating a critical need for companies to adapt their processes and evaluation methods to effectively integrate AI tools and maximize their benefits.
Companies are giving employees AI tools to make them more productive, but the tools appear to be creating new problems for their managers.
More than half of senior leaders say find it harder to evaluate employees’ work after adopting AI, according to a Nielsen survey of 1,700 directors and senior managers across seven countries, commissioned by the work-management company Monday.com. The reason is that much of employees’ output now arrives polished in the manager’s inbox, making it hard to tell how much came from the employee and how much from AI. As a result, nearly half of managers say they spend more time reviewing and guiding their teams’ output than they used to.
