BOSTON, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The implications of Generative AI technology on employees are greatly dependent on their problem-solving skills and how resilient and positive they are, according to the new meQuilibrium (meQ) Workforce Well-being study of 5,989 employed adults released today. A quarter of employees (25.3%) with low positivity are concerned that AI threatens their job security, compared to 16% of workers with high positivity. Strong problem-solving skills make employees 66% more likely to experience productivity gains from Gen AI, and nearly half as likely (49% less) to worry about their job security being undermined.

Key Points:

Strong problem-solving skills make employees 66% more likely to experience productivity gains from Gen AI, and nearly half as likely (49% less) to worry about their job security being undermined.
Highly resilient employees feel less threatened by Gen AI and more likely to make productive use of the tools, the study found.
Resilient workers are 35% more likely to report that Gen AI tools help them be more productive in their day-to-day work.
In addition, resilient employees are half as likely than low resilience employees to express fears that AI systems pose a threat to their job security (13% vs 26%).

Frontline Workers Have Greater Mental Health Needs, Yet Are Less Likely to Seek Help, Study Finds

BOSTON, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite having more demanding roles tied to a higher degree of stress, frontline workers are less aware of employer mental wellbeing benefits, more likely to say they do not have a problem, and--even when they acknowledge a problem–are less likely to reach out for help than their non-frontline colleagues, according to a new meQuilibrium (meQ) study of frontline worker mental well-being released today. The study of 1,183 US-based workers revealed that rates of anxiety and depression among frontline workers are 33% and 61% higher, respectively, and when facing high stress, they are 30% less likely to seek out professional assistance, compared to their non-frontline counterparts.

Key Points:

Even though frontline workers are less aware of mental well-being benefits, meQ's workforce well-being research shows that frontline populations demonstrate significantly larger improvements in resilience–the skill that protects workers from burnout risk – than non-frontline populations.
Despite grappling with more demanding roles and the associated impacts on mental well-being, frontline staff are not always open to support.
Three-quarters (73%) of non-frontline Gen Z staff report feeling well-informed about available mental well-being benefits and less than half (43%) of frontline workers are aware of relevant benefits.
"It's clear that frontline workers shoulder greater burdens from highly demanding roles yet are less likely to seek support," said Dr. Smith.
