Amazon to cut 14K roles, pointing to AI

Amazon to cut 14K roles, pointing to AI | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
The short-term benefits of reducing head count for AI may have long-term implications, a Cornell University professor of human resource studies told HR Dive.

 

JR Keller, a professor of human resource studies at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, told HR Dive the short-term benefits of reducing head count for AI may have long-term negative consequences.

 

“I think AI has enormous implications for college graduates entering the job market,” he said. “Where are people going to learn how to do their second job, if they never get that first one? And so, I think that is a huge question that organizations are going to have to face. I think in the short term, they’re just going to get rid of as many jobs as they can. But, in the long term I think that could be something that ultimately costs companies as well.”

James Schreier's insight:

The Implications should be explored!!!

Recognizing Common Mental Health Challenges at Work—and How Leaders Can Help

Recognizing Common Mental Health Challenges at Work—and How Leaders Can Help | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
If you’re leading a team, you’ve probably sensed it: someone’s quiet, withdrawn, not quite themselves. Maybe it’s a one-off. Maybe it’s something deeper.

Many employees might be navigating loneliness, anxiety, and depression. These experiences are more common, and more present at work, than we often realize and can show up quietly: a drop in energy, changes in behavior, or a shift in tone. Without the right support, the effects can be profound. We’ve heard from clients who’ve faced the deep heartbreak of losing team members to suicide, a painful reminder of what’s at stake here. Creating a culture of care begins with awareness. When we observe with empathy and act with intention, we open the door to meaningful support—and potentially life-saving connection.
