As the creators escalating their efforts to improve Robots’ behavior, the likely effects of Artificial intelligence or Robots on the lives of working professionals at work have become a topic of gossip. The ever-increasing number of customers and their demands for services and products has forced the creators or developers of Robots to improve the behavioral pattern of the Robots (Artificial intelligence) at work. In order to make Robots friendly and productive at work, the creators, in fact, have begun to get success. According to a media report, more than 30,000 workers at 37 companies have been reported sharing even their secrets with Robots. Under the light of the fact, the technology is likely to affect the lives of professionals at work. To have a better understanding, let’s continue to read the article.
Employee engagement at work

The account showed a higher number of the disengaged and dissatisfied professionals. It somewhere has an effect on key talent attrition in the companies which, in India, has jumped from 7.3 percent in 2015 to 12.3 percent in 2016. The trend is posing a threat to the growth of the corporate companies. In order to neutralize the threat, the feedback, engagement and analytics tools are likely to be incorporated and improved by the most of the corporate companies.

How are Robots useful in improving the situation?
As the employee disengagement and attrition is becoming a stumbling block for the growth and success, the business community has begun to see Robots or Artificial intelligence with the hope. These Robots are efficient in observing particular behavioral or communication pattern, and can accordingly take actions. Suppose, when you have any concern at work you send an email to the personal assistant of boss who is, actually, a Robot. The personal assistant to your boss will respond to your email on the basis of his/her previous communication experiences with you at a certain time. The more he/she (Robot) interacts with you and your co-workers at work, the more it will become intelligent in asking and replying questions. In the same way, Robots can observe the mood and engagement of the professionals at their workplaces. On special occasions like marriage and some others, you could be wished by these intelligent Robots. Apart from it, Robots can be seen playing important role in existing performance-management systems in coming days. The companies will keep their special eye on their employees who are performing highly or, highly at the risk of jumping ship through these automated and already programmed Robots. In case there is an issue with the employees at work, these Robots will gently pursue them for explanation and will deliver the obtained feedback into real-time dashboard available to leaders of the company. The short and crisp survey generated by these Robots might also increase the response rate of employees. Finally, it might play a major role in companies’ routine operations while reducing the cost.
Possible effects

However, the future of Robots (Artificial Intelligence) is still under a big question because of its dependency on human actors. Suppose you don’t do anything in order to improve the situation despite receiving elucidated feedback from employees on certain issues from technology-enabled Robots. It will ultimately have bad effects which couldn’t solely be prevented or overcome by the Robots. But somewhere down the line, the engagement of Robots (Artificial Intelligence) in existing management mechanism of the companies is indicating for major changes in current work culture.
