Are You Leaning on AI for Advice and Feedback Because You Are Afraid To Speak With Your Manager?\u00a0 Perhaps many employees are doing so these days.\u00a0 Fortune’s Brit Morse writes:<\/a><\/p>\n

Given an increasingly personal reliance on AI, HR professionals should also take note of where employees\u2014and especially the youngest office workers\u2014are getting career advice. Around 40% of employees overall say they rely more on ChatGPT than their manager to answer questions about work, with nearly half (49%) of Gen Zs agreeing. Pichura career coach for Resume.org<\/a>.) notes that this generation is accustomed to receiving instant feedback, and when they\u2019re not getting that from their manager, they may look to other sources instead.<\/i><\/div>\n

What do we make of these findings?\u00a0 I see two forces at play here. First, managers may not be providing the type of constructive, real-time advice and feedback that employees desire.\u00a0 Second, many employees may be leaning on AI models because they are not comfortable speaking with their manager about their performance and opportunities for improvement.\u00a0 I’m certainly not against using AI to enhance your productivity and performance on the job.\u00a0 However, something very important is missing if we are avoiding conversations with our managers out of discomfort or conflict avoidance tendencies.\u00a0 Managers need to make themselves more accessible and need to help their employees become more comfortable asking for help.\u00a0 Employees need to tackle their discomfort head-on, and they must be willing to hear the hard truths needed to enhance performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
