In this episode of Wellbeing Ignites Welldoing, host Adwoa Buahene speaks with Dana Dahar, an expert in emerging technologies and employee experience. As Practice Leader at HFS Research, Dana explores the intersection of AI, human behavior, and workplace transformation.
Dana shares insights on how AI can enhance—not replace—human ingenuity in the workplace, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking, creativity, and ethical AI implementation. She discusses the risks of Gen AI dependency, explaining how over-reliance on AI tools can erode independent thinking and decision-making.
She also highlights the ethical considerations of AI in the workplace, urging organizations to be mindful of bias, transparency, and the psychological impact of integrating AI into workflows. Dana stresses that AI should be a tool to augment employee capabilities, not a substitute for human insight and connection.
Drawing from her research, Dana explores how organizations can foster AI literacy, create AI-free zones for deeper collaboration, and ensure that technology supports—not undermines—employee engagement and wellbeing.
