Survey: AI efficiency gains add to managers' evaluation burden
What happened
On 21 October 2026, TechCrunch reported that Nielsen surveyed 1,700 directors and executives in seven countries on behalf of Monday.com. More than half of the executives said AI adoption had made it harder to evaluate employees' work, and nearly half of managers spend more time reviewing their teams' output. 94% of managers are excited about using AI to boost efficiency, but 78% have changed how they evaluate employees, placing more weight on prompting ability and judgement in task allocation; 46% use AI to support decisions and 39% use it to draft performance reviews. AI raises productivity while also adding to managers' evaluation and oversight burden, the report says.
