The time to invest into AI-powered solutions for businesses is now. Insights from HP’s 2025 Work Relationship Index reveal that 42% of satisfied employees within the workforce are currently integrating AI tools into their workflow.
Therefore, businesses that pool resources into AI-assisted tools are more likely to see increased employee satisfaction, performance, and retention long term. It is imperative to hear out employee voices within the shifting tides, as they consider their long-term career goals, and whether their current employers can provide the flexibility for them to learn and grow.
The future of work is driven by AI
HP’s findings highlight the growing divide between employees and their relationship to work. Only 20% of knowledge workers globally report having a healthy relationship with work, an 8% decrease from the previous year.
This number drops as low as 4% for Japanese workers. Sharp declines have also been observed in the United States, Indonesia, and India, with worker satisfaction dropping between 15%, 16%, and 13%, respectively. These trends are likely to continue into 2026 if businesses are slow to adopt AI-driven tools in the workforce.
30% of knowledge workers feel optimistic about leveraging AI into their workflow, boosting efficiency. Conversely, 1 in 3 knowledge workers report that they lack AI training measures. 42% of workers also report that their company have failed to solidify a clear AI strategy.
That's where HP’s ZBook range steps in to bridge the gap. These laptops are built for professionals who demand uncompromising performance and unbridled flexibility. For IT decision-makers and device managers, the ZBook range symbolises a strategic investment in workforce enablement as hybrid work becomes the norm and AI-driven workflows take centre stage.
Windows 11 for Enterprise is now rolling out on all HP ZBooks, embedded with Microsoft Copilot and the latest AI-ready tools to ensure that you can work on the go – without compromising performance.
