As employee burnout reaches a post-pandemic high of 42%, organizations are increasingly turning to digital solutions to address this critical challenge. Amy Mosher, Chief People Officer at HR solution provider isolved, emphasizes the impact of efficiency-driven tools on burnout, highlighting the importance of self-service tools that empower employees to manage tasks at their own pace.
A study from isolved’s 2023 Voice of the Workforce report reveals that 50% of US workers experience stress before returning to work, and 40% grapple with ‘Imposter Syndrome.’ Mosher notes that the rise in employee anxiety has led to more leaves of absence, underscoring the need for empathetic approaches and the integration of tools like automated enrolling to ease work-related burdens.
Addressing burnout is a top priority for HR professionals in 2023, and Mosher emphasizes the role of AI in reshaping benefit plans as a potential remedy. Businesses are leveraging artificial intelligence to analyze employee preferences in benefit packages, tailoring offerings based on demographics to maximize their impact. isolved’s People Cloud platform enables HR teams to automate benefits, providing employees with personalized choices while offering real-time visibility to administrators.
Mosher praises the power of AI in combining diverse datasets to predict future trends, emphasizing its use in understanding generational differences in the workplace. By using AI to analyze how different generations think, learn, and communicate, organizations can foster better collaboration and harness the value of diverse perspectives.
According to isolved’s HR Leaders Survey, 40% of businesses planned to invest in HR analytics technology in 2023. Mosher advocates for the continued use of AI into 2024, particularly in predictive analytics. Predictive analytics enable HR teams to proactively address employee concerns, identify potential turnover risks, and tailor incentives to retain valuable talent. Mosher sees analytics as the missing piece in the HR puzzle, providing the capability to predict and implement successful employee incentives.
