Reimagining the IT help desk experience for “silent sufferers” with AI

Customer using online service with chat bot to get support.

Workplaces can benefit from AI when employees who struggle with technology issues hesitate to seek help. With its rise, AI has established itself as a transformative trend. AI can enhance productivity and efficiency while safeguarding against operational downtime and can proactively identify and resolve IT issues, benefiting employees who might not seek help and improving their overall experience.

These “silent sufferers” could be putting up with malfunctions and connectivity issues but are reluctant to ask for support. Instead, they might try to fix problems themselves, which could lead to further complications, either immediately or later, especially if they exacerbate the original problem. Even worse, they might keep ignoring the issues entirely. If that happens, the problems they were tolerating — most of which IT could have resolved — will undoubtedly lead to those silent sufferers being far less productive and unhappy at work.
