A new paper from MIT Sloan postdoctoral associate Loaiza and professor Roberto Rigobon finds that work that's dependent on human characteristics such as empathy, judgment, and hope is less likely to be replaced by AI. Learn more: bit.ly/4kWPgPJ
You might not think a committee where workers can share work-related health & well-being concerns would have all that much effect on a workplace. But it can. That’s what Professor Erin Kelly @MIT_IWER @MITSloan & colleagues found in a recent study: tinyurl.com/y4pej88v
There’s a succession dispute at the Mass.-based family-owned supermarket chain @MarketBasket, according to @BostonGlobe. What would help? A mediator, advises @TomKochan @MIT_IWER @MITSloan. The situation needs “fewer lawyers,” according to Kochan: tinyurl.com/yhczt6mp
