The TalentLMS report sheds light on Gen Z’s unique relationship with AI in the workplace. Nearly 47% of Gen Z workers prefer AI guidance to traditional managerial advice, and 66% believe AI enhances their skills. However, this reliance on technology has led to a reported 39% decrease in colleague interactions. While AI is a powerful tool for boosting productivity and developing hard skills like coding and data analysis, it may also be impacting essential soft skills such as communication and teamwork. To nurture a well-rounded workforce, organizations must balance the development of technical and interpersonal skills, ensuring Gen Z is equipped for the complexities of the modern workplace. https://bit.ly/4fn5C2g #GenZ #AI #TalentDevelopment #WorkplaceSkills
