Aon Study: Philippines AI Talent Gap

Aon (company) plc released its inaugural Human Capital Trends Study for the Philippines on July 1, 2026. The study highlights that organizations in the Philippines are rapidly adopting AI and investing in data-driven capabilities, with 72% already deploying or piloting AI programs. However, the country faces significant challenges, including a limited supply of AI-skilled talent (only 17% of organizations can recruit and retain enough), underdeveloped pay transparency practices, and a widening gap between employee expectations and workplace experience. The study also notes that while 53% of organizations have high HR data maturity, only 20% have a well-defined employee value proposition. Rahul Chawla and Cris Rosenthal of Aon (company) provided commentary on these findings, emphasizing the need for aligning workforce planning, pay strategies, and personalized benefits to translate innovation into growth and improve workforce performance.
