Almost half of the more than 7,000 employees polled are enthusiastic about the idea of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, while the other half are worried about its potential misuse. Some see AI as an opportunity for their growth, career and promotions, but some of them do not agree and think that AI is carrying an impact on their industries and roles. But now, many employees are offered to go to AI training and some of them said that they had not received any learning and development opportunities for these past few months.

Organizations that fail to value inclusion may find it difficult to recruit and retain young talent and top talent, while an absence of variety in background and experience can hinder innovation and foster groupthink. In a study paper, experts from Barclays expressed the belief that companies' consideration of diversity and inclusion is crucial for both their values and their long-term profitability. One ...
