Employee Sentiment: What Workers Are Asking Now

Stephanie Penner joins Diane King Hall to discuss the current mindset of the American worker. She provides her firm's data trends pointing to a lower level of people leaving their jobs. Stephanie adds that financial security is among the top reasons for maintaining a job with a current employer, but says that more employees are asking questions about future growth. She says AI isn't yet "triggering a reduction in headcount" but that employers are actively monitoring its usefulness. Stephanie says the approach to AI ranges from confidence to fear, depending on where the employee lands within their given corporate hierarchy.
