Key Findings:
- Artificial Intelligence and Automation: The report predicts that AI will automate 30% of working hours in the U.S. economy by 2030. While automation presents opportunities to increase efficiency, companies need to balance its integration with maintaining job quality.
- Remote and Hybrid Work Models: The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote and hybrid working. According to the report, over 61% of hiring managers expect more remote working in the future. As a result, organisations must adapt by implementing stronger technology infrastructures and management strategies to accommodate this shift.

Continuous upskilling and reskilling are essential for organisations to remain competitive and prepare their workforce for future challenges.
Case Studies:
The report highlights case studies from industry leaders such as Salesforce and initiatives like the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium, which focus on upskilling employees and fostering hybrid work environments.
- Salesforce: The company has implemented a hybrid working model while prioritising employee well-being and diversity. Its Trailhead platform offers continuous learning opportunities, preparing its workforce for the future.
- AI Workforce Consortium: Firms such as Cisco, IBM, and Microsoft are working together to assess the impact of AI on the workforce, identifying new skills and training opportunities.
Challenges and Opportunities:
The report also identifies several challenges, including managing hybrid teams, reskilling employees, and addressing mental health concerns. However, it notes emerging opportunities in sectors such as the care-based economy, holistic security, and creative industries, driven by technological advancements.
Recommendations:
- For Organisations: Embrace flexible working arrangements, invest in upskilling employees, and adopt AI responsibly.
