The productivity gap between executive expectations and worker experiences with generative AI adoption could have significant long-term implications for the future of work and the relationship between management and employees. If left unaddressed, this gap may lead to increased employee dissatisfaction, burnout, and disengagement, ultimately impacting overall organizational performance and competitiveness. Moreover, a lack of alignment between executive goals and worker experiences could erode trust and communication within the organization, creating a rift between management and employees. This could result in decreased morale, higher turnover rates, and challenges in attracting and retaining top talent. To mitigate these long-term implications, organizations must prioritize collaboration, empathy, and inclusivity in their approach to AI adoption, ensuring that productivity gains benefit all stakeholders and contribute to a positive work culture built on mutual respect and understanding.
