Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the workplace, enhancing productivity, streamlining workflows, and creating new avenues for growth and innovation. Beyond efficiency, AI has the potential to elevate employee engagement by enabling personalized career development, smarter collaboration, and more meaningful work. But as AI takes on a greater role in daily tasks, how can organizations ensure it enhances—rather than diminishes—the human experience at work? Will AI free employees to focus on creativity and strategic thinking, or will it introduce challenges that leaders must actively navigate?

This webinar will explore how senior leaders, managers, and HR professionals can proactively shape an AI-powered workplace that fosters trust, inclusion, and connection. Join us as we discuss strategies to maximize AI’s benefits, while safeguarding engagement, well-being, and workplace relationships in an era of rapid transformation.

Join us Tuesday, April 29, at 12:00 p.m. EST, for a thought-provoking discussion on how to integrate AI while keeping people at the center of the workplace experience. The Diversity Movement’s Jackie Ferguson will lead our panel of experts in a discussion that explores:
