Clark University experiment shares AI productivity gains with employees

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Clark University conducted a 50-day experiment called Project Rouge, inspired by Ford Motor Company's historical five-day workweek, to test if sharing productivity gains with employees incentivizes greater efficiency. The experiment involved employees working 80% of traditional hours for 100% pay, aiming for at least 120% of baseline output. Results showed improvements across various metrics, including a nearly 40% increase in donor meetings and a 22% decrease in gift-processing time, with employees overwhelmingly supporting the continuation of the program and expressing interest in deploying more AI resources. AI

IMPACT Suggests that sharing productivity gains, potentially enabled by AI, can incentivize employees and lead to improved organizational outcomes.
