Working world and AI: Change in everyday working life: AI is becoming a reason for termination
AI increases productivity - but for some, the workload becomes too great and the perspective is lacking. What companies need to do to keep specialists?
A survey of 817 MINT professionals in Germany by YouGov for SThree found that 38.4% reported colleagues leaving their company due to AI-related reasons in the past 12 months. The main reasons for these departures were changes to job profiles, lack of development opportunities, and unsustainable workloads. The Life Sciences sector saw the highest rate of AI-related team departures at 56.8%, compared to 28.9% in IT and 29.6% in Engineering.
Despite this, two-thirds of AI users reported increased team productivity, and most associated AI with positive emotions such as being "stimulating", "curious", or "exciting". Employees are calling for targeted training, clear AI usage rules, and early management involvement to retain staff amidst rapid changes.
