Survey Finds AI Poses Evaluation and Governance Challenges for Managers
Understand the story
On October 21, 2026, TechCrunch reported on a survey commissioned by work management platform Monday.com and conducted by Nielsen. The survey covered seven countries and included 1,700 directors and executives. The results showed that more than half of the executives surveyed said it became harder to assess employee performance after their teams adopted AI tools; nearly half of managers said they now spend more time reviewing and guiding their teams' output than before. The survey noted that the cause is that deliverables produced by employees are highly polished by AI tools, making it difficult for managers to distinguish how much came from the employees themselves and how much from AI. The survey reveals the new challenges that widespread AI adoption poses for business managers in performance evaluation and team governance.
