On wellbeing, 59% of leaders said AI reduces work-related stress, compared to 51% of employees.

Employees preferred AI to help remove the burden of administrative tasks, like entering or checking data (44%), and managing attendance and scheduling (41%).
Additionally, Zellis found that better alignment between leaders and employees when using AI could free up £40bn in staff time value and unlock £20bn a year in operating cost savings.
Reducing the grey zone of misalignment could also free up 1.7 billion hours of staffing time every year.
