As companies adopt generative AI, the leadership should reflect on whether the training of employees is keeping up with this evolution. Almost half of global employers (48%) already use AI, but the lack of talent with specific skills worries 31% of them. The data are from Trends Report 2025do ManpowerGroup, líder mundial em soluções de força de trabalho.
Despite the focus on innovative adoption, the companies, many times, eles falham na preparação dos profissionais para o uso de ferramentas de IA, what can contribute, among other factors, due to a talent shortage in the market —the index in Brazil reaches 81%, according to data from the Research Talent Shortagealso from ManpowerGroup.Além de pensar apenas em implementar a tecnologia, líders need to analyze why and how they will use it, and what is missing for collaborators to improve their skills.
This is because many companies end up focusing on the productivity that AI can bring, without clearly defining the strategic intention of the use. She helps, yes, у продуктивності, as long as there are humans behind it to bring it to its full potential. Prove this by showing that the performance of skilled professionals can increase by up to 40% with the tool, compared to those who do not use it, second studies from Harvard Business Review, com Boston Consulting Group.
However, for Andréa Felgueiras,executive marketing manager for talent attraction at ManpowerGroup, those who do not yet have this training may feel overwhelmed by the productivity demand that comes with AI. The lack of clarity on how the solutions will be adopted, and training of employees, it can have an effect on mental health and your demand efficiency. Many do not know what AI is, therefore, não saberão otimizar o uso. At the same time, there are those who know, but does not have the necessary skills that the role requires. To avoid these scenarios, companies need to start from scratch, identifying how the tools will be used and what are the possible bottlenecks and challenges for this, tanto em relação aos colaboradores quanto à inovação do negócio, comment.
To train employees to make successful use of the available resources, it is interesting to map the levels of knowledge about artificial intelligence. Thus, is it possible to determine which paths to follow with each profile, with introductory or intensive courses. From this, it is necessary to undertake learning journeys for different levels and monitor progress.
This ongoing training proves to be the way to meet the growing demand for professionals capable of working with AI and overcoming the existing skills gap today. Employers need to exploit it as a way to grow the business and contain talent shortages.
Tal formação e conscientização sobre IA deve ser um movimento 360º, in all sectors of the company, não só para uma parte dela. This includes C-Levels and leadership, who will take the lead and manage the employees; e os recrutadores, que estarão de olho em novos talentos e precisam saber identificar quais são as habilidades de IA necessárias, comment on the executive. Certainly, professionals being curious and dedicating themselves to training are important differentiators, but in this race to adopt AI, são as empresas que desempenham o papel de protagonistas, complement.
These changes will help professionals and employers avoid becoming obsolete in the face of AI evolution in the job market. After all, in five years, 69 million new jobs will be created and the skills required are expected to change by 50% (compared to 2016); only generative AI should accelerate this transformation to 68%, point out World Economic Forum data.
A executiva reforça que o movimento vai exigir transformações culturais nas empresas, like all innovation that came before and redefined the way of working. It is necessary to find the balance between wanting to innovate and having a team prepared for it, complementa Andréa
