GoKawiilSurvey: Over half of managers say AI makes it harder to evaluate employee work
A Nielsen survey of 1,700 senior managers across seven countries, commissioned by Monday.com, found that more than half struggle to assess employee output since adopting AI tools, because polished AI-assisted work makes it unclear how much an employee personally contributed. Nearly half of managers reported spending more time reviewing and guiding their teams as a result, even though 94% said they're excited about AI's potential.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The findings suggest a gap between individual enthusiasm for AI and the organizational systems needed to manage it, as Monday.com's Michal Miller Levi argues that adoption is outpacing companies' ability to adjust processes. With 78% of managers changing how they evaluate staff—weighing prompting skill and delegation decisions—performance reviews could become harder to standardize fairly across teams.
- Over half of surveyed managers find evaluating employee work harder since AI adoption
