18: How AI combined with empathetic leadership can strengthen corporate culture

With most of the population still working from home, there’s a gap
in many companies’ ability to provide a sense of community,
mentorship and support for their employees. It’s hard for employers
to gauge how their people are adjusting and assess what could be
impeding their innovation, morale and productivity? Just a few
weeks ago, Netflix CEO read Hastings, known for his straightforward
leadership style and for his radical candor spoke out on how
working remotely is hurting the ability to collaborate with staff.
He says it’s a pure negative and makes debating ideas even harder.
Conversely, we also know that many people prefer working from home
as it’s currently safer, eliminates tiresome commutes and enables
people to have more flexibility in their schedules. Fortunately for
those employees who continue to work remotely, there’s ways
managers can help team members overcome obstacles inherent in
remote working that might be impeding their success. According to
Josh Christopherson, CEO of Achieve Today, these obstacles can be
overcome with new technology combined with supportive leadership.
