AI: managing people through technological change

Overview

Artificial intelligence (AI) can change the way tasks are carried out and can support people at work, in many cases improving productivity.

However, it also raises concerns and important questions for employers and employees about how jobs could be impacted, and changes need to be managed carefully if AI is implemented into workplaces.

This masterclass brings together Acas experts and leading guest speakers to help you consider what lies ahead and how to manage people through technological change.

We will explore:

Technological changes ahead and how they could impact workplaces
Effective business strategies – is AI the solution
Supporting people with concerns and maintaining trust during times of change
Responsible use of AI in the workplace and employment law considerations

Business Need

Implementing new technology can bring uncertainty as well as opportunity. This can impact productivity, moral and workplace relations.

Actively supporting people through these changes can help build trust and maintain confidence between a workforce and management.

Our expert speakers will help you develop a clearer understanding of barriers to change, how to respond effectively to support your people, and how to address concerns constructively.

Attending this event will provide you with practical advice on how to support employees through technological changes and explore introducing the use of AI in a fair and effective way.
