In fact, 40% of workers say they’ve received "workslop" in the past month. So how can leaders make sure AI fuels performance instead of undermining it?

Workslop isn't just a buzzword. It's a performance drag that’s quietly costing your business millions. This week, our research at BetterUp Labs and Stanford Social Media Lab caught fire. From coverage in Harvard Business Review, Fortune, Reuters, to even being featured on the Nasdaq tower in Times Square. Leaders are waking up to read about what many have felt for months: AI-generated work is coming from colleagues without much thought or editing. It is taking around 2 hours on average for an employee to undo the mess. A tool that’s promised more productivity is being used haphazardly, causing less clarity, less collaboration, more time and energy wasted. We call it Workslop: content that looks like work, but creates more work for everyone else. And the downstream tax is real at $9M a year in lost productivity for a 10,000-person company. The financial hit is only the beginning. AI doesn’t solve performance problems, it magnifies them. When misused, AI erodes trust, alignment, and creativity. But, when guided with a thoughtful framework on AI use and a people strategy that strengthens agency and optimism, AI can be a catalyst for stronger performance and collaboration. The good news? Workslop is preventable. But only if we build the systems and coach the mindsets that put employees in the pilot seat. Leaders, this is your cue. Let’s raise the bar on what good work with AI looks like: https://hubs.ly/Q03L288c0

Efficiency drove the industrial age. Collaboration powered the knowledge era. But today’s world of speed and disruption demands something different: adaptive performance. In our recent conversation, Guillermo Miranda explained why organizations need to embrace adaptability: “You cannot just reskill people; you need to ensure they’re ready to deliver adaptive performance.” And Genesys’ Mercedes Escala shared how they’re embedding empathy, curiosity, and growth mindset across the company.

Ericka Williams, MPA shared the powerful question from her BetterUp coach that sparked her professional calling and lit her up from within. This week our name shined on the billboards of Times Square, but stories like Ericka’s are what truly illuminate our “why.” Thank you, Ericka, for sharing.

It's hit a nerve. Will #workslop be the Merriam-Webster Inc. word of the year? https://lnkd.in/g2XW8Yuw

#Workslop is AI-generated content that looks polished and complete — but is fundamentally unhelpful and low-quality. It can take the shape of emails, documents, slide decks, or . . . LinkedIn posts. While it may look good on the surface, workslop can be bloated, confusing, or dead wrong. And according to new research from BetterUp and the Stanford Social Media Lab (and, of course, anyone you ask) workslop is far from rare. Here's a summary of the research 👇

The conversation around AI-generated workslop has struck a chord. On Monday, BetterUp Labs and the Stanford Social Media Lab released new research exposing the hidden toll of mismanaged meetings, over-collaboration, and the culture of always-on. Since then, the response has been overwhelming — featured across Axios, CNBC, Entrepreneur Magazine, Fast Company, Fortune, Futurism, Gizmodo.com, Inc. Magazine., Mashable, Quartz, and more. And yesterday Nasdaq lit up Times Square with a stark warning: Workslop is costing businesses millions. The good news: leaders can fight back. 📉 Less workslop. 📈 More focus, agility, and impact.
