Andreea Dăncilă, Wipro: “We are focusing on leadership involvement in employee wellbeing”

Someone said that artificial intelligence cannot take all our jobs, but someone who knows how to use artificial intelligence might come and take your job. Therefore, I believe it’s very important to focus on AI learning and on optimizing work processes. At Wipro, we have a strong focus on AI training, dedicated to specific specialty levels. Even for HR, we have separate modules on AI, including training on how to use, and what tasks to provide, for example, to Copilot, which you can work with daily so it can help you streamline your work. We conduct employee engagement surveys and implement action plans, but I think what is very important here is the personal connection—not only from HR but also from leadership, which should be involved throughout the whole process. We treat wellbeing as part of the company’s strategy, built on 3 pillars: mind, body, community. We also address aspects of diversity and inclusion. We are focusing on leadership involvement in employee wellbeing. I recently read a study showing that around 58% of responding employees said they would leave their job if they did not get along with their manager. This is a warning signal regarding wellbeing and leadership involvement, and I believe this is essential. What we do is involve leadership and have them lead wellbeing programs. We have sessions where leaders come and talk about personal experiences, they open up, they show vulnerability in front of people.
