How is AI transforming the workplace? Gallup’s latest research finds that among employees who use AI, the most common uses are to generate ideas (41%), consolidate information or data (39%) and automate basic tasks (39%). This is particularly true for leaders — 46% report using AI in their roles to consolidate information or data, compared with 36% of individual contributors. Similarly, 45% of leaders utilize AI to automate basic tasks while fewer individual contributors do the same (36%). These gaps suggest that while leaders are beginning to unlock AI’s potential, broader adoption across the workforce will require more than just access to the tools — it will require comprehensive training, thoughtful strategy and sustained support.

Ninety-three percent of Fortune 500 CHROs say their organization is using AI technology and tools to improve business practices. At the same time, employee use of AI at work remains limited. Only one in 10 employees use AI at least weekly, while seven in 10 never use AI at work.  Employee adoption of AI is critical for seeing a return on investment — and that requires leadership and training.

Employee retention depends on getting recognition right. Implementing quality recognition should be incremental, well-defined and personalized. Gallup and Workhuman have identified five essential pillars of strategic recognition in the workplace to build a culture that prioritizes and consistently delivers high-quality recognition. Employees who receive recognition that meets at least four pillars are nine times as likely to be engaged as employees whose recognition experiences do not fulfill any of the five pillars. And meeting all five pillars can have a transformational impact on key outcomes like engagement and turnover.

Latest Gallup data finds that 41% of employees report experiencing “a lot of stress.” Stress varies significantly depending on how organizations are run. Employees working in companies with bad management practices (actively disengaged employees) are 60% more likely to be stressed than those working in environments with good management practices (engaged employees). In fact, experiencing "a lot of stress” is reported 30% more frequently by employees working under bad management than by the unemployed. Leaders know workplace stress is a problem — they’ve seen the data, heard it from their colleagues and experienced it themselves. A quarter of leaders feel burned out often or always, and two-thirds feel it at least sometimes. Many are trying to address it, but often in ineffective ways.
