Majority of managers' workload to be completely automated by 2024: Gartner - CIO&Leader

 Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies, such as virtual personal assistants and chatbots are rapidly making headway into the workplace. By 2024, these technologies will replace almost 69% of the manager’s workload, according to Gartner’s predictions.

“The role of manager will see a complete overhaul in the next four years,” said Helen Poitevin, research vice-president at Gartner. “Currently, managers often need to spend time filling in forms, updating information and approving workflows. By using AI to automate these tasks, they can spend less time managing transactions and can invest more time on learning, performance management and goal setting.”

AI and emerging technologies will undeniably change the role of the manager and will allow employees to extend their degree of responsibility and influence, without taking on management tasks. Application leaders focused on innovation and AI are now accountable for improving worker experience, developing worker skills and building organizational competency in responsible use of AI.

“Application leaders will need to support a gradual transition to increased automation of management tasks as this functionality becomes increasingly available across more enterprise applications,” said Poitevin.

AI to Foster Workplace Diversity

Nearly 75% of heads of recruiting reported that talent shortages will have a major effect on their organizations. Enterprises have been experiencing critical talent shortage for several years.  Organizations need to consider people with disabilities, an untapped pool of critically skilled talent. Today, AI and other emerging technologies are making work more accessible for employees with disabilities.

Gartner estimates that organizations actively employing people with disabilities have 89% higher retention rates, a 72% increase in employee productivity and a 29% increase in profitability.

In addition, according to Gartner, by 2023, the number of people with disabilities employed will triple, due to AI and emerging technologies reducing barriers to access.

“Some organizations are successfully using AI to make work accessible for those with special needs,” said Poitevin. “Restaurants are piloting AI robotics technology that enables paralyzed employees to control robotic waiters remotely. With technologies like braille-readers and virtual reality, organizations are more open to opportunities to employ a diverse workforce.”

By 2022, organizations that do not employ people with disabilities will fall behind their competitors.
