\n Nearly 40% of AI Time Savings Are Lost to Fixing Low-Quality Output<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n Global Research Shows AI Delivers Greater ROI When Leaders Invest in Both People and Technology<\/span>

\n PLEASANTON, Calif.<\/span>, Jan. 14, 2026<\/span>\/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0<\/span>Workday, Inc<\/span><\/a> (NASDAQ: WDAY) today released new global research showing that while AI is delivering productivity gains, many organizations aren’t fully capturing its value. Employees are saving meaningful time with AI tools, but too often those gains are being absorbed by rework \u2013 fixing mistakes, rewriting content, and double-checking outputs from generic tools \u2013 leaving significant value on the table.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n Beyond Productivity: Measuring the Real Value of AI<\/span>
\n <\/b>
\n <\/a>
\n ,” reveals what separates leaders from laggards: the most successful organizations don’t just deploy AI \u2013 they reinvest the time it saves into their people. By building skills, redesigning roles, and modernizing how work gets done, these companies turn speed into sustained business impact.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n “Too many AI tools push the hard questions of trust, accuracy, and repeatability back onto individual users,” said Gerrit Kazmaier, president, product and technology, Workday. “At Workday, we’ve spent years delivering AI as simple, human\u2011centered solutions \u2013 not raw technology \u2013 so customers aren’t left to wire things together and fact\u2011check every answer on their own. Our philosophy is that AI should do the complex work under the hood so people can focus on judgment, creativity, and connection. That’s how organizations turn AI\u2011powered speed into durable, human\u2011led advantage.”<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n The AI Productivity Paradox<\/span>
\n <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

\n AI is delivering meaningful time savings, but that speed doesn’t always translate into better outcomes. While 85% of employees report saving one to seven hours per week using AI, much of that time is offset by rework on low\u2011quality AI\u2011generated content \u2013 creating a false sense of productivity and ROI. AI is doing its part by increasing capacity \u2013 but too often, roles, skills, and processes haven’t evolved to turn that capacity into consistently better results.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n
