In the fast-evolving landscape of work, organizations across industries are under growing pressure to ensure employees are equipped with the skills they need quickly and effectively. Whether it's onboarding new hires, upskilling existing teams, or keeping up with regulatory compliance, training has become a critical function where they can't afford to be inefficient. However, traditional training methods often demand significant time investments from both learners and L&D teams, sometimes without delivering the desired performance results.

A new survey reveals a striking "AI readiness gap" in the modern workplace: those using AI tools the most-including top executives and Gen Z employees-are often the least likely to receive meaningful guidance, training, or even company approval for their use.

How to effectively and efficiently use the array of technologies businesses now employ, has become critical.
