6 Keys to Turning AI Talk Into Action
Leaders’ frequent use of generative AI can create the illusion of companywide adoption. But while upskilling is on the rise, many organizations struggle to turn training into measurable impact. Without clear expectations, coaching, and application, AI risks remaining a top-down initiative that stalls out.
You may need to reset expectations if:
- Leadership hasn’t clearly defined AI use.
- Employees are trained but lack direction on the application.
- Managers struggle to link AI to team goals and workflows.
Betterworks helps HR and managers turn AI learning into everyday impact — building clarity, consistency, and lasting adoption.
Understand how AI is (and isn’t) being used
Betterworks Engage can reveal how employees perceive and use AI, highlighting roadblocks and training gaps. Use pulse surveys to identify needs, then develop tailored AI learning or adoption plans by team, location, or other variables — and connect those plans to visible goals to drive accountability.
Help employees apply AI in their daily work
Successfully implementing AI requires overcoming both emotional resistance and practical obstacles, like limited time to learn. Betterworks Conversations supports structured and anytime coaching with managers to help employees overcome challenges, apply AI in real workflows, and build confidence. Action plans can be documented as part of performance, making it easy to track progress and turn learning into practice and projects that address strategic business goals.
Reinforce behaviors between check-ins
Managers can quickly recognize progress in between conversations using Betterworks’ AI Feedback Assist feature. Delivering real-time, AI-informed feedback supports the right behaviors and encourages continuous improvement.
Give managers the insights to coach effectively
The Betterworks Manager Command Center provides real-time performance data in a central dashboard, enabling managers to identify areas where AI adoption is lagging and take targeted action through more focused coaching and support.
Track AI progress with measurable goals
Employees can use Betterworks Goals to set, document, and monitor AI skill development and application. Teams and individuals can also align AI-related goals to broader strategic initiatives.
Track AI adoption and successes
HR can gain deep visibility into AI goal progress and implementation across departments, managers, locations, demographics, and roles using Betterworks analytics and insights. Spot trends, uncover gaps, and better understand successful AI adoption activities to provide targeted support and action plans.
The Outcome
HR and managers close the perception and readiness gaps by turning training into sustained behavior — and adoption into performance.
