Event Summary

Adecco released a global study, 'The human premium: Leadership beyond the algorithm,' on May 21, 2026. The study, based on a survey of 2,000 c-suite executives across 13 countries, reveals a significant gap between the rapid acceleration of AI adoption and the readiness of the workforce. While 45% of business leaders anticipate AI agents in workflows within a year, only 36% believe their talent strategy clearly shows AI creating opportunities for employees.
