Dayforce Inc., a global leader in human capital management, has released its 16th Annual Pulse of Talent report, highlighting a significant gap between AI adoption and workforce readiness. Surveying nearly 7,000 employees, managers, and executives across six countries, the report reveals that while 87% of executives use AI at work, only 27% of frontline workers do the same. Notably, 71% of employees have not received any AI training in the past year, despite 63% recognizing the importance of developing AI skills. The study also exposes a reskilling gap: 82% of executives believe organizations should retrain employees whose jobs are affected by AI, but only 17% of workers report such opportunities at their workplaces. Ethical concerns persist, with 58% of employees seeing potential challenges in AI, yet only 26% of organizations have established dedicated oversight for responsible AI use. Dayforce leaders warn that the lack of training and governance risks creating a divided workforce and urge businesses to prioritize AI skill development and ethical standards. The report underscores that where AI is being adopted, companies are seeing substantial benefits in HR automation, internal mobility, and learning initiatives, demonstrating AI's growing impact on the future of work.
