Businesses rush to rehire staff after regretted AI-driven cuts

What would they do differently?

According to the findings, 41.2% of HR leaders said they would approach the AI-driven redundancies differently if given the chance.

Another 50.3% said they would make selective changes, such as rethinking which specific roles were cut, rather than overhauling the entire approach.

Over half of HR leaders said that up to a quarter of roles that were made redundant could have been transitioned to a different role with the right redeployment support in place.

Another 28.3% of HR teams said 26% to 50% of roles had redeployment potential.

Despite the redeployment potential, 55.1% of the respondents said reskilling and redeployment were not formally discussed or considered.
