Odaily Planet Daily News, July 7. McKinsey research shows that in 2023, only 30% of employees used AI for work assistance, while by 2025, this proportion has risen to 76%. The "McKinsey 2025 New Era of Work Survey" reveals that 51% of business organizations report that generative AI has reduced their demand for entry-level positions. Between 2023 and 2025, the turnover intention of employees with less than one year of tenure decreased from 37% to 32%, approaching the 30% level of employees with more than three years of tenure. The survey shows that AI creators and heavy AI users have the highest sense of belonging to their positions, but their likelihood of leaving within the next 3 to 6 months is 7% higher than light AI users and 10% higher than employees who do not use AI. The survey indicates that the main reasons for employees' willingness to stay include meaningful work, flexible work locations, opportunities for career development and promotion, trust and support from colleagues, and fair compensation with adequate recognition.
