Mercer's 2026 Global Talent Trends, as summarized by TechSpot, surveyed 825 C-suite leaders. It found nearly all expect AI to reduce headcount within two years, with 99% expecting layoffs in the short term, and 63% believe redesigning work around AI will deliver the greatest returns.
Only 44% of employees say they are thriving, down from 66% in 2024. The download link points to TechSpot's summary because we did not access Mercer's report itself.
