A joint report by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the European Commission describes Algorithmic Management (AM) in today's workplaces as a double-edged to the report, while AM improves monitoring and provides measurable productivity metrics, it also fosters micromanagement , which can lead to a decline in overall job performance—particularly in emerging economies such as India and South report highlights how countries like China and Spain are prioritising fairness and transparency in revealing algorithmic patterns.

Strategic communication channels, ranging from dashboards to manager-led conversations, ensure employees understand both the intent and the implications of data-driven insights,' Gorur Pande, Group CHRO, Sterlite Electric , mentioned advanced analytical methods such as Regression Analysis to identify key competencies that shape leadership effectiveness alongside team performance. These insights support the company in designing sharper development journeys and succession further emphasised, 'Tools like Amber enrich our understanding with its AI-powered conversational interface that shares authentic employee sentiment and flags emerging issues, allowing our leaders to act proactively and empathetically.'Pande said that at Sterlite Electric, all AI-generated insights are reviewed within a 'human-in-the-loop' framework, supported by fairness audits and constant reviews.'Decisions on promotions, performance or scheduling always remain with our people leaders, backed by context and compassion. Finally, we have created both formal and informal mechanisms for employees to raise concerns or appeal decisions, which ensures that data becomes a tool for dialogue, not a final decision,' added Bhattacharyya, Chief Talent Officer, RPG Group , expressed a similar view. He said, 'RPG has consciously chosen not to use AI in performance evaluations or promotion decisions.''These are high-stakes, career-impacting calls that require context, judgement and a level of human discretion that AI simply doesn't offer today,' said Sterlite Electric, employees are clearly informed—not only about what data is collected and when, but also why.'We obtain explicit consent every time their data is used, and at any point, employees are empowered to manage their own profiles: they can view, update or delete their information, and no one can access anyone else's private data without permission,' said Fujitsu, employee data are collected to enhance wellbeing, improve personal experiences and promote fairness, said Gorur.'Importantly, we do not use data to micromanage but to identify opportunities that help employees grow and thrive. We complement this with digital ethics education so employees feel empowered, not monitored,' claims Gorur.
