Webinar: AI - building trust in the workplace

AI – building trust in the workplace
Helping teams adopt AI with confidence, not concern
The Caterer’s AI – Building Trust in the Workplace webinar is a free online event that will discuss how hospitality operators can successfully adopt artificial intelligence (AI) whilst prioritising trust and transparency across the business.
What is it about?
Hospitality workers – like many others across frontline industries – are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to boost efficiency, streamline daily tasks and reclaim valuable working time. From in-house scheduling technology to task assistants such as Co-Pilot and ChatGPT, AI is quickly becoming a natural part of everyday workflows.
Deputy’s latest research shows that despite this sharp rise in adoption, one theme remains clear: human connection still defines the hospitality experience. Workers consistently emphasise that warmth, empathy and personal care simply can’t be replicated by machines.
The rise of AI brings a mix of optimism and uncertainty. Many hospitality workers remain concerned about what increased automation could mean for their job security, even as they acknowledge the benefits technology brings to their roles.
As AI continues to reshape frontline workplaces, understanding both the opportunities and the risks is essential. Using data from Deputy’s Better Together global report, alongside HR experts, this webinar will share tips on how to keep your frontline workers happy and engaged when rolling out AI tools, ensuring trust is at the forefront of adoption.
