New ManpowerGroup research reveals promising job growth, rapid AI integration, and strategies for success in the evolving workplace
MILWAUKEE, June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- More than half (55%) of employers expect to increase headcount due to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning over the next two years, with less than a quarter (24%) believing there will be no impact and just 18% anticipating reducing headcounts. The findings in ManpowerGroup's new report, "Building a People-First Strategy for AI-Powered Workforce Productivity," also reveal that nearly half (48%) of companies have already adopted AI, including generative conversational AI, marking an increase of 13% from the previous year.
"AI advances hold great promise to boost productivity, offer more meaningful work, and enhance human interactions," said Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO. "To ensure this promise benefits the many, not the few, we must address skills gaps that currently exist and support people to develop in their careers and transition to new roles. Now is the time to prioritize upskilling, reskilling, and job redesign to build a brighter future of work."
