57% of your time is spent in meetings, writing emails, and chatting in the workplace. Ouch.

Really interesting paper from @erikbryn @Danielle__Li @LindseyRRaymond on role of generative AI in a call center environment. Key findings:
-Generative AI helped Underperformers: it improved productivity for new and under-performing employees, as expected

-Retention Benefit: employee retention improved for everybody with the additional augmented support. The turnover rate of employees with the generative AI support was 8.6% lower than those without it
I've talked a ton about how we will not know the ripple effects of hybrid work for years to come. One I didn't see coming was an increase in drinking during the work day.

Interesting to see the increase in the number of companies moving to a 4-day work week. Will be powerful to see if this or a reduced hours across work days is more attractive to employees. @FastCompany

This, plus remote/hybrid work and skills scarcity means that employees will have a sustained advantage in the labor market for the foreseeable future. @axios
A report estimates that 70% of the decline in labor force participation since the end of 2019 was due to aging workers — about 1.4 million additional Americans retired. trib.al/CvZR4xr
I have been saying this, we are not returning to employers being advantaged in the labor market, we are entering a period of sustained employee advantage: The percent of the US population that is of working age has dropped by 7% since 2010.

Really interesting insight: majority of employees think AI will cause job losses but will not cause their job to be lost. pewresearch.org/internet/202…
Some progress on gender diversity in the C-Suite. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
Really smart. Not a 4 day work week, but 6 hour days instead. More and more research showing more hours does not guarantee better output. worklife.news/leadership/six…
The CHRO role has never been more important to organization success. Some thoughts from me in HR Daily Advisor. @Accenture @HRDailyAdvisor hrdailyadvisor.blr.com/2023/…
Nice message from a company to mandate that employees actually take their PTO -- forced vacation? axios.com/local/twin-cities/…
More evidence on importance of building rest and recovery into work rather than after work. fastcompany.com/90810642/the…
Really interesting move by @shopify to give employees the gift of time by adjusting when people work. No meeting Wednesdays, no recurring meetings with more than 2 people, big meetings only on Thursday. Is this the future of work? @bizboyle @tia_silas

Leaders have to focus more on empathy to create an improved learning environment. @qz qz.com/3-ways-to-create-a-le…
Really interesting trend from @explodingtopics showing how importance and attention to candidate care during the recruiting process has grown across the last 10 years.
There has been a fundamental shift in the labor market putting employees in a sustained advantage. Slowing labor force growth is most recent example. Increase in hybrid/remote is another. Employees will be advantaged for foreseeable future. @EmilyRPeck axios.com/2023/02/03/covid-r…
Important reminder if you have to do lay-offs, you must test against adverse impact to make sure you are not hurting your ID&E efforts. reuters.com/business/sustain…
