Insight - People & Culture

What's AI got to do with HR & leadership development ? 🤖📊 Picture this: We're guest lecturing on AI for leadership & culture, and a sharp question pops up. "What happens when scientific research gives us conflicting advice on team interventions?" 🤷♂️ That's where the magic of deep reinforcement learning comes into play. ✨ Deep reinforcement learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that navigates through a multitude of possibilities, learning to identify the most effective actions by analyzing the intricate patterns via trial, error, and success, thus embodying a highly sophisticated learning mechanism. 🧠 When faced with the puzzle of conflicting advice from literature on team management interventions, deep reinforcement learning steps in as a groundbreaking solver. 🔍 It uncovers the nuanced truth that seemingly contradictory strategies might both be effective, but under different circumstances. It doesn’t just guess; it discerns with precision when and where each intervention will be most impactful, bringing unparalleled clarity to the complex dynamics of human behavior in the workplace. 🎯 Transforming the HR and leadership development landscape, we’re moving beyond the traditional, intuition-based decision-making process. With it, we're steering HR and leadership development into a new era: decisions are data-driven , actions are precise, and culture-building is smarter. What could you achieve if every leadership decision was backed by this level of insight? 🌟

Individual employee wellbeing interventions are a waste of time and money, according to new research by the University of Oxford (2024). 🤔 This research among more than 46.000 employees shines a light on a crucial aspect: while billions ($61bn in 2021) are invested in individual wellbeing initiatives, their impact barely scratches the surface if we don't address deeper, systemic issues.   Don’t get it wrong; it’s not about discarding wellbeing efforts, it's about understanding that no amount of wellbeing activities can cure the stress stemming from toxic cultures or unreasonable workloads.   Interestingly, insights from Gallup suggest that leadership, particularly the role of managers, is instrumental in shaping employee engagement. Direct managers account solely for 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores.   For instance, if you have a toxic manager, no stress-management class can offset the daily stress triggers they create.   It's time for a shift in perspective, focusing on fostering environments where wellbeing efforts complement systemic changes.   #EmployeeWellbeing #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #Futureofwork   Article: https://lnkd.in/gpA5WnA7
