The global online learning platform recently surveyed 800 knowledge workers and 800 C-suite executives from across the nation for its Navigating the Workplace in the Age of AI Report. Among the key findings:

Most companies are finding it difficult to get ahead of this trend. Eighty-seven percent of the C-suite say they are struggling to find talent with AI skills, and 77% say AI is disrupting their business strategy.
Leaders say AI will replace many functions at their organization, but employees don't realize how much they will be affected. Only 20% of workers believe most or all of their role could be replaced by AI.
Although executives are embracing AI, many are concerned about falling behind. Eight in 10 fear that if they don't learn how to use AI, they will be unprepared for the future of work.
AI proficiency could provide a considerable career boost. Most executives believe workers who are skilled at using AI should be paid more (82%) and promoted more often (74%).
Surprisingly, the C-Suite doesn't mind if employees use AI to work for another company. Eighty-two percent say employees should be allowed to use AI to work multiple jobs.
Workplace learning programs aren't keeping up, and some workers have one foot out the door. Just 24% are using their company's programs to learn AI skills, and 39% say it's likely they'll quit for a job that offers better learning and development opportunities within the next year.
Executives estimate that nearly half of the skills that exist in their workforce today won't be relevant in 2025 and that 47% of their workforce is unprepared for the future of work.
