Among working professionals, HR leaders report some of the highest levels of burnout, including 70% who feel they are working “beyond capacity” and 61% “working without enough staff.” In order to address these issues, some are turning to artificial intelligence and other technologies to find efficiencies—e.g., eliminating “manual, repetitive administrative tasks.” While much of the technology may be promising, early adopters also take on a certain level of risk—especially if systems become automated without appropriate testing and supervision.
