Singapore/ Tokyo [Japan], October 14: Reeracoen, Asia’s leading human resource services provider, in collaboration with Rakuten Insight Global, has released a “Perception of AI in the Workplace” report surveying over 400 professionals across 50 industries. The report examines generational perspectives on AI in professional settings. It aligns with Singapore’s recent announcement of a SG$1 billion investment plan under the Smart Nation 2.0 initiative to enhance the nation’s AI capabilities and promote responsible adoption.
Key Findings Reveal Generational Divide and Upskilling Trends
1. AI Anxiety Across Generations
The survey reveals that while 53.5 per cent of participants express concern about AI replacing jobs, Gen Z shows the highest levels of anxiety regarding job security. The data highlights the importance of developing robust workforce strategies to address these concerns.
2. Proactive Upskilling Initiatives:
A remarkable 62.4 per cent of respondents are actively preparing for an AI-driven future and remaining competitive, primarily through data analysis and AI courses. This trend aligns with government initiatives aimed at fostering an AI-savvy workforce.
3. Corporate Support Gap:
Mixed sentiments were noted regarding corporate support for AI integration. Only 23.1 per cent of respondents felt their companies were very supportive in preparing for AI changes, indicating a critical need for enhanced corporate strategies to foster employee readiness.
Bridging the AI Readiness Gap
Kenji Naito, Group CEO of Reeracoen Group, emphasised, “As AI reshapes the workforce, our role is to guide companies and job seekers to navigate these changes successfully. This report provides invaluable insights, enabling us to align our strategies with Singapore’s Smart Nation 2.0 vision and connect businesses with AI-ready talent. Our findings show that while AI adoption is accelerating, companies must take proactive steps to support their employees’ upskilling. By connecting businesses with high-calibre candidates, we will continue contributing to Singapore’s vision of becoming a global AI hub.”
