Technological advancements in computing and the increased availability of tools powered by AI promise to fundamentally shift how people work and interact with one another. As we stand on the edge of a transformative new era, the emergence of advanced AI can help organizations operate with unprecedented efficiency and unlock new innovations.  

To harness AI’s full potential, organizations must equip employees with the skills and knowledge necessary to confidently interact with and effectively leverage it in their role. 

But many organizations fall flat in empowering their employees to build such proficiency. Among organizations that have begun to implement AI technology, nearly half (47%) offer no formal or informal training opportunities. 

Leaders and managers who are in tune with the demands of the modern workplace meet their employees’ enthusiasm for upskilling and build cultures of skills-based learning where upskilling is not just encouraged but engrained in the fabric of how work is done.  

In this report from Gallup and Workhuman, you’ll learn: 

  • How organizations can empower employees to upskill 
  • How strategic recognition and direct promotion of upskilling can drive effective adoption of new technologies
