MCKINSEY: 76 PER CENT OF EMPLOYEES USE AI-ASSISTED WORK, ENTRY-LEVEL JOBS CONTRACT AND MOBILITY SLOW

ON 7 JULY, A MCKINSEY STUDY SHOWED THAT ONLY 30 PER CENT OF EMPLOYEES USED AI-ASSISTED WORK IN 2023, BUT BY 2025 THAT PROPORTION HAD JUMPED TO 76 PER CENT. AI TECHNOLOGY IS RESHAPING THE WORKING WORLD, WHILE THE DEMAND TO BEAT WORKERS REMAINS THE SAME. 1. NEW JOB-SEEKERS: JOB LOSSES, SLOWER MOBILITY, BUT STILL CLAIMS. AFTER AI GRADUALLY TOOK OVER A LARGE NUMBER OF REGULAR TASKS, ENTRY-LEVEL POSTS WERE CLEARLY AFFECTED: ACCORDING TO THE MCKINSEY WORK FOR A NEW ERA STUDY 2025, 51 PER CENT OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS INDICATED THAT GENERATING AI REDUCED THEIR DEMAND FOR ENTRY-LEVEL POSITIONS. IN ADDITION, THE STUDY FOUND THAT, BETWEEN 2023 AND 2025, THERE WAS A MARKED DECLINE IN THE WILLINGNESS OF EMPLOYEES OF SHORT-TERM AGE TO LEAVE: AMONG THEM, THE WILLINGNESS OF STAFF MEMBERS WHO HAD BEEN ON BOARD FOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR HAD DECREASED FROM 37 PER CENT IN 2023 TO 32 PER CENT IN 2025, CLOSE TO THE LEVEL OF STAFF WHO HAD BEEN ON BOARD FOR MORE THAN THREE YEARS (30 PER CENT). 2. AI ' S USE OF PROFICIENCY: THE HIGHER THE SENSE OF STAFF BELONGING, THE HIGHER THE TENDENCY TO LEAVE. THE SURVEY SHOWED THAT AI CREATORS AND HEAVY AI USERS HAD THE HIGHEST SENSE OF BELONGING. PARADOXICALLY, HOWEVER, THIS GROUP IS ALSO MOST WILLING TO LEAVE — AI CREATORS AND HEAVY AI USERS ARE 7 PER CENT MORE LIKELY TO LEAVE IN THE NEXT 3-6 MONTHS THAN AI USERS AND 10 PER CENT MORE LIKELY THAN NON-AI EMPLOYEES. IN THE WORKER'S MIND, THE FOCUS HAS CHANGED AND THE CLAIM REMAINS. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE MAIN REASONS WHY STAFF ARE WILLING TO REMAIN ON BOARD INCLUDE THE VALUE OF THEIR WORK, THE FLEXIBILITY OF THEIR DUTY STATIONS, CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND PROMOTION OPPORTUNITIES, THE TRUST AND SUPPORT OF THEIR COLLEAGUES, DECENT PAY AND ADEQUATE RECOGNITION。
