Plano, Texas, November 15, 2023 – With a quarter of jobs anticipated to be affected by a 'new era of turbulence,' research from modern learning platform provider CYPHER Learning reveals the biggest concerns for HR and business leaders and their attitudes toward generative AI.
The new report – Generative AI in 2024: A potential lifeline amid workplace turbulence – details the findings of the independent survey of 400 HR and business leaders from across the U.S. and U.K. It shows that while upskilling and retention top the list of priorities for HR and business leaders, three out of four (76%) say they struggle to develop training courses with current resources. A further 65% say that while upskilling employees is essential to plugging skills gaps, they don’t have the time to develop relevant courses.
As the demand for upskilling increases the pressure on HR and business leaders to quickly deliver more courses, organizations are looking at how generative AI can boost the effectiveness of training. However, the research from CYPHER Learning shows barriers remain, which are preventing some organizations from taking advantage of the technology. Key findings include:
“The global workforce is shifting. The need for robust learning and development courses to compete with the demand for upskilling has never been more paramount for organizations globally,” said Graham Glass, CEO and Founder of CYPHER Learning. “It is imperative now to quell concerns about the role AI will play in the workplace and commit to a measured approach to implementing generative AI into learning and development.”
The research from CYPHER Learning reveals that generative AI is already prominent in workplace discussions around L&D and HR, but businesses need a solution to lower barriers to AI adoption:
“Generative AI is augmenting L&D and helping us meet the ever-changing skills requirements,” said Glass. “At CYPHER Learning, we believe AI adoption is addressing these challenges – while giving time back to key personnel and saving their organizations money. By adopting commercial solutions with AI validators, all businesses and L&D teams can benefit from using AI easily and securely.”
