Which option is NOT a benefit of automation?

• A. better regulatory compliance
• B. greater efficiency and cost savings
• C. provide engaging work to employees
• D. higher employee satisfaction and productivity

Answer: (C)

Automation typically brings clear gains like standardized, auditable processes that improve regulatory compliance, faster and more accurate work that boosts efficiency and cuts costs, and when repetitive tasks are handled by machines, employees can focus on higher-value work, often increasing their satisfaction and productivity. The statement about providing engaging work to employees isn’t an automatic or guaranteed outcome of automation; engagement depends on how the work is redesigned and managed. Without thoughtful change management and upskilling, automation can even reduce hands-on engagement. So, the option about engaging work isn’t a direct, assured benefit, making it the best choice for NOT being a benefit.
