As these types of products become increasingly popular, many corporations have opted for an outright ban on their use in the workplace. Others have adopted a more lenient philosophy and permitted their employees to tap into these programs in the hopes of realizing significant productivity gains. In this episode, we put two lawyers and compliance experts head-to-head to debate the finer points of these two disparate approaches.

 

Some of the big questions that our debaters tackle in this episode are listed below: 

  • How do you respond to concerns about biases and inaccuracies in AI writing? Should all AI-generated materials need to be proofread by a human?  
  • In the long run, is it practical for employers to regulate this type of tool?
  • How do data privacy and security concerns fit into this conversation? Is it possible that AI programs could acquire and disseminate confidential employer information? 
  • Even if these tools become exponentially better in the years ahead, are there some tasks that should absolutely never be replaced by AI?

Surveys show that workers and jobseekers overwhelmingly support this type of legislation, while employers are more hesitant. In the fourth episode of OneDigital Debates, we asked our experts to unpack the pros and cons of pay transparency policies on America’s workforce.  

 

Some of the big questions that our debaters tackle in this episode are listed below: 

  • Do transparent pay ranges actually do jobseekers a disservice by “boxing them in” when it comes to salary negotiations? 
  • How effective are pay transparency laws at reducing gender and racial pay gaps? 
  • Does pay transparency lead to resentment and social tension in the workplace? 
  • Can pay transparency help with recruitment and retention?

According to a survey by a mental health benefits provider, two-thirds of employees report poor mental health has undercut job performance during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 40% of employees are battling burnout.

Two kinds of stress combine to make COVID-19 a significantly difficult situation – intense stress and prolonged stress. However, employers and business leaders must do more than simply make it acceptable to talk about stress. Without proactive strategies and transparent communication to ensure employees are supported, they risk alienating their workforce, significant losses in productivity and harming their corporate brand for years to come.

Join our wellbeing and HR leaders as they discuss how leadership can champion a new culture of wellbeing, the integral role management plays in recognizing the signs of stress and access resources and tools to help execute these newfound strategies.
