Reeracoen, Asia's leading human resource services provider, in partnership with Rakuten Insight Global, has released a report titled 'Perception of AI in the Workplace,' which surveyed over 400 professionals across 50 industries.

The report examines generational perspectives on AI in professional settings and aligns with Singapore's SG$1 billion investment under the Smart Nation 2.0 initiative aimed at enhancing AI capabilities.

Kenji Naito, Group CEO of Reeracoen, emphasized the importance of guiding companies and job seekers through AI-related changes while aligning strategies with Singapore's AI vision.

As Singapore aims to lead in AI innovation, the report offers valuable insights for businesses and professionals adapting to a changing job market.

The findings serve as a roadmap for shaping recruitment strategies, guiding talent acquisition, and informing employee training programs to address AI skill gaps.

Despite the pressing need for adaptation, only 23.1% of respondents felt that their companies were very supportive in preparing them for AI integration, indicating a significant gap in corporate support.

Concerns about AI replacing jobs are prevalent, with 53.5% of participants expressing anxiety, particularly among Gen Z, who show the highest levels of job security concerns.

In response to these challenges, 62.4% of participants are proactively upskilling for an AI-driven future, primarily through data analysis and AI courses.

Reeracoen is recognized for connecting top-tier talent with leading organizations across Asia, emphasizing service excellence and cross-border talent solutions.

The report provides insights to align business strategies with Singapore's Smart Nation 2.0 vision and connect companies with AI-ready talent.
