    Read excerpt

    With all the investments in artificial intelligence, and new tools that promise a revolution in work, executive leaders expect productivity gains, smarter decisions, and faster innovation. But one critical question remains unanswered: Are employees embracing AI? Not yet, Top Workplaces research suggests.
