How much time AI is saving staff
Artificial intelligence is saving workers an average of one hour per day, offering them more time to focus on creative tasks, strategic thinking and improving their work-life balance, according to a new global survey.
The Adecco Group’s Global Workforce of the Future survey gathered insights from 35,000 workers across 27 leading economies, highlighting the impact of AI on workplace efficiency.
According to the findings, the majority of workers using AI reported saving around 60 minutes each day, with a fifth of users benefiting from time savings of up to two hours daily. For 5 per cent of respondents, they claimed AI was helping them save between three to four hours per day.
AI’s time-saving benefits were seen across a variety of industries, although the energy, utilities and clean technology sectors saw the greatest improvements, with employees reporting an average of 75 minutes saved daily. The aerospace and defence sector experienced the least amount of time saved, with workers shaving 52 minutes off their daily tasks. Other sectors, including tech, financial services and manufacturing, reported average time savings of between 57 and 66 minutes.
“There has been a huge amount of speculation about how AI is changing the world of work, which is why it is tremendously exciting to see these first potential signs of efficiency improvements,” said Adecco Group CEO Denis Machuel.
The survey also looked at how workers are utilizing the extra time AI provides. Approximately 28 per cent of users said they now dedicate more time to creative work, while 26 per cent reported focusing on strategic thinking. Meanwhile, 27 per cent of respondents said AI has improved their work-life balance.
But not all workers are using the extra time for productive tasks — 23 per cent of users indicated that their workload remains unchanged, and 21 per cent said they spend the saved time on personal activities.
