Lendi: AI Use Now Part of Employee Performance Reviews

A leading Australian fintech company, Lendi Group, will now assess employees on their use of AI in annual performance reviews. The company aims to be operationally "AI-native" by the end of June. Staff will be evaluated on how effectively they use AI agents and integrate them into their daily work. A company leader stated that people will be evaluated on their AI usage and the performance of the agents working for them. This means employees will become managers of digital workers. AI is already changing workflows, from generating initial code to accelerating prototyping. The company also uses AI for internal operations, like processing parental leave applications much faster. This shift is even changing how staff communicate and collaborate. The bottom line is that AI is becoming a core part of employee expectations and performance.
