Deloitte: Broken trust halves employee motivation; AI investment imbalance noted

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Deloitte's U.S. Human Capital Practice leader, Simona Spelman, highlighted that broken trust significantly diminishes employee motivation, with one distrusted factor reducing motivation by over half. Spelman, speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, outlined four pillars of trust: reliability, transparency, capability, and humanity. She noted that companies are currently investing heavily in AI technology (93%) but very little in its impact on the workforce (7%), a balance that needs adjustment. Jennifer McCollum of Catalyst added that during transformations like AI adoption, leaders must actively engender trust, as employees often doubt their organizations' reskilling plans and leadership's integrity during change.
