AI is expected to create more jobs than it destroys according to Gartner forecasts.

How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the Labor Market – 2028 and Beyond

*Gartner* predicts that by 2028 AI will create more jobs than it destroys. This means employers will be forced to rethink their approaches to hiring and assessing employee value.

1. Restructuring Organizational Structure
- Obsolete positions disappear – 40% of companies have already closed roles that are no longer needed in the AI era.
- Flexible, cross‑functional organization – almost half of organizations have restructured their departments for faster adaptation to changing business needs (Gartner survey data – 110 HR managers, December 2025).

These changes result in employees having a less defined career path. AI accelerates the process: entry positions are automated, and young professionals lose opportunities to develop decision‑making skills and foundational knowledge.

2. Transition from Experience to Competencies
To fully leverage AI’s potential, companies must:
1. Rethink promotion systems – replace tenure-based evaluation with skill-specific assessment.
2. Identify key competencies – pinpoint the abilities that truly matter for the next level of success and remove outdated ones from the priority list.
3. Build development infrastructure – implement incentives (e.g., learning bonuses), scalable training programs (simulations, hands‑on tasks), and mentorship.

3. Identifying “Potential” Employees
With a focus on future-oriented skills, HR specialists can:
- Identify workers who possess basic competencies, a rapid learning ability, and adaptability.
- Provide them with growth opportunities even in the absence of traditional role criteria.

4. Managerial Skills in the AI Era
Managers must:
- Navigate uncertainty.
- Lead teams through continuous transformation.
- Make decisions based on not only past experience but also new data.

Conclusion:

With the arrival of AI, change will become part of everyday work. Employees will be able to self‑directly acquire necessary skills as technologies reshape the workplace. For success, companies need to shift their talent strategy from experience to competencies and create conditions for rapid personnel development.
