In this main stage panel on reskilling for human relevance, Jacquelyn Polanco, Sales Administration Manager, Texas Disposal Systems Inc., shared how AI agents are helping employees reduce repetitive workloads, focus on higher-value responsibilities, and regain time and confidence in their work.
Key Takeaways
AI Reduces Workload Without Reducing Impact: Polanco used AI to rethink how employees spend their time, helping one team member shift away from work that had effectively become three roles. Automating repetitive tasks allowed employees to focus more on responsibilities that require their expertise.
Agents Turn Days of Manual Work into Hours: A data-intensive process that once took two days was reduced to roughly five hours through AI tools. The team then built an agent that could process documents automatically, further reducing the manual effort required.
Employee Well-Being Becomes an AI Outcome: The impact extended beyond productivity as employees spent less time working overtime and gained greater confidence in their output. By reducing workload pressure, AI helped create a more sustainable work experience and renewed enthusiasm for the job.
