Teodor Stoica, Genesis Property: Investing in continuous employee development ensures business longevity in the AI era

There is nothing new in the fact that the power of artificial intelligence is gradually governing the workplace. With the recent launch of Chat GPT-4o, the way people work takes a complete turn as this artificial intelligence tool is faster, smarter, and more. Concern about AI being able to replace humans in the workplace is growing, and managers and business owners need to take a different approach to maintain organizational success and retain their talent.

To perform better, people need to feel motivated, productive, and creative. It is well known that the modern employee is looking for more than just a paycheck at work, they are looking for meaning and purpose. While AI technology and automation tools only support specific tasks, human skills cannot be replaced. However, to succeed in a professional environment where AI seems omnipresent, employees need to keep up with emerging technologies and adopt a continuous development approach. In this, their managers play a crucial role. They need to foster a culture that promotes lifelong learning and skills development so that employees feel encouraged to be the best they can be and be an asset to their organizations.

While developing technical skills seems intuitive for better workplace performance, HR studies show that social and emotional skills are what will help employees stay competitive in a world flooded by artificial intelligence. Managers should focus on fully engaging their employees, rather than just leaving them “content” with their roles, according to studies. This means presenting them with opportunities to learn and develop, facilitating social interaction, and encouraging them to maintain their well-being. These are the main components of a culture that fosters motivation, innovation, and creativity.

In other words, employee satisfaction is closely linked to organizational success. Encouraging employees to acquire new skills, adapt to the changing job market, and stay connected to their own needs seems to be the key to staying ahead of the competition and the AI-driven workplace.

Fortunately, there are places like YUNITY Park, where the office campus succeeds in providing a complete employee experience. The concept developed by Genesis Property, founded by Liviu Tudor, brings together opportunities for learning and development, social interaction and the cultivation of passion. The innovative design of the office park ticks off every item on the modern employee’s list, bringing nature closer to people through a large urban forest, and fostering socializing and relaxation, thus stimulating productivity, innovation, and creativity.

With employees who are more focused on improving themselves and being connected to their needs, companies are on the right path to success, despite AI advancement. The faster AI evolves, the more people need to develop the skills that make them human, and an employer who facilitates this will be much more successful in attracting and retaining the right talent.
