In the UK, rising employment costs are pushing businesses to invest in AI technologies rather than hiring new workers. A study by Linkedin and Pleo indicates a significant preference for hybrid and remote work among job applicants, reflecting a broader shift post-pandemic. Business leaders consider AI as a cost-effective solution, with 59% more likely to choose it over human hires. However, firms face challenges in integration, with many struggling against digital overload and approaching traditional tools as productivity hurdles increase.
Janine Chamberlin, head of Linkedin UK, noted that the platform is witnessing a far higher application rate for hybrid and remote jobs compared to in-person roles.
Pleo's report found that nearly six in 10 business leaders admitted that introducing automation was simpler than inspiring their workforce.
