Josh Bersin on how HR can lead AI superworkers

Josh Bersin on how HR can lead AI superworkers | T.I.P.S. Tracking | Scoop.it
Could this be the year of the “superworker”? According to industry analyst Josh Bersin, the impact of AI and the subsequent rise of superworkers is one of the top five challenges for HR in 2025. “This is going to really change the innerworkings of our companies,” said Bersin, calling it a “massive topic” that HR leaders will need to consider as they execute workforce planning this year.

What makes a superworker? Bersin’s firm identifies this as an employee empowered by AI, enhancing their value, productivity and output by mastering AI tools in an AI-supported workplace. The Bersin team is clear that in this scenario, AI isn’t about replacing jobs; it’s about empowering superworkers, leading to higher-value roles, better pay and increased business value—not just cost savings.
