Fortune Execs on Workplace Culture: AI, Work-Life Balance, and the End of Corporate Jargon

Fortune Conference Highlights Workplace Culture Debates: AI, Work-Life Balance, and Corporate Jargon. A recent Fortune conference featured a series of short interviews exploring the evolving landscape of workplace culture. Executives shared their candid perspectives on several key issues. Chris Hyams, CEO of Indeed, voiced concerns about AI's impact on jobs, stating, "The biggest question around AI is: is it going to make their jobs go away or is it going to make their lives better?" Ziad Ahmed, Head of Next Gen at Tune, criticized the traditional work-life balance narrative, arguing, "We as young people...have been fed a lie as it pertains to how our lives are supposed to be constructed." Alisha Sare, Senior Director at Indeed, emphasized the need for flexibility, regardless of work arrangements: "No matter what—remote, in-office, part-time, hybrid—make it work for your team." Scott Dobroski, VP at Indeed, highlighted the rapid adoption of AI, noting, "I do believe whatever we did yesterday is not good enough for tomorrow. Everyone has to be using AI now." These diverse viewpoints underscore the ongoing evolution of workplace culture and the need for adaptation and flexibility.
