A turning point
Nearly 6 in 10 (57%) HR leaders say their organization is likely to conduct layoffs in the next 12 months, and almost half this group (47%) say increased use of AI is the main factor. Employees, on the other hand, report high confidence in job security. This gap highlights a disconnect between leadership expectations and employee perceptions, increasing the risk of complacency and emerging skill gaps.

Skill security
With roles changing faster than many employees expect, employers can’t rely on people staying in fixed positions. Two-thirds (64%) of HR leaders say AI will require employees to learn new skills or adapt to new tools. Our research shows how skill security is replacing traditional job security, making continuous learning and development essential. Human skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability remain central to success.

An adaptable workforce
The majority of HR leaders (88%) agree that employers should help workers affected by AI through a combination of clear career frameworks, upskilling, and, when necessary, career transition services. Providing this kind of support helps individuals move forward with confidence and equips organizations with the capabilities and reputation needed to navigate disruption.
