Allwork contributor Sheya Michaelides cited research by Columbia Business School Professor Stephan Meier in an article examining how workplace culture has been stress-tested by rapid technological change. Referencing the CBS study Employee Centricity in an AI World, the piece highlights findings that employees’ anxiety about AI adoption often outpaces enthusiasm when transparency, trust, and inclusion are lacking. Meier’s research emphasizes that organizations must prioritize employee centricity—clear communication, fairness, and shared value creation—if they want AI to enhance productivity without undermining morale or well-being.
