New global research by enterprise software firm Workday reveals a 'productivity paradox' in AI adoption, where despite 85% of employees saving 1-7 hours weekly using AI tools, nearly 40% of this time is lost to rework, including correcting errors, rewriting content, and verifying AI-generated outputs. This creates a false sense of productivity, with employees aged 25-34 facing 46% of the highest AI-related corrections. Frequent AI users review AI-generated work as carefully as or more carefully than human-done work (77%). The report highlights a gap between AI adoption speed and the evolution of job structures and skills training. While 66% of leaders prioritize skills training, only 37% of employees with high rework levels have access to it, and 89% of organizations have updated fewer than half of their job roles for new AI capabilities. Companies are reinvesting AI-driven time savings more into technology (39%) than employee training (30%).
