I just visited the Microsoft IDC office in Noida where they unveiled the Work Trend Index Report, a report outlining how you and I perform at workplace and the impact of AI in companies big and small.
We live in a world where employees are working tirelessly at work and sometimes even at home, and yet companies are looking for yet higher productivity gains.
80% workers say they lack the time/energy needed, while 53% of leaders demand higher productivity.
But AI is enabling companies to bridge this gap completely. Allowing employees to offload the repetitive tasks to AI while they focus all their time on tasks that require creativity and critical thinking.
Microsoft calls such companies "Frontier Firms". These are orgs where: 1. Tasks are human led, AI Agent operated(blending machine intelligence with human judgement)
2. Work charts over org charts(structuring teams based on goals over functional expertise)
3. Employees through out the company have the AI know-how to create and deploy AI Agents at scale.
46% of workers treat AI like a thought partner, using it to brainstorm ideas and challenge their thinking.
Companies are looking for people who have the skill to delegate and manage AI agents for key tasks, making AI literacy is the most sought after skill you can learn in 2025.
The report shares more data on how AI Agents are driving efficiency across marketing, ops, sales, hiring and more.
