The AI story inside organisations has matured quickly. It’s no longer just about tools, pilots and training sessions. In some companies it’s now part of the performance fabric: tracked, expected, and increasingly linked to progression.

At the same time, the entry point into work is getting harder. Graduates face fewer openings, far more applications, and a hiring process that can feel like a black box. Add a cautious job market, ongoing restructuring, and new forms of workplace monitoring, and you get a workforce that is less impressed by ambition and more interested in fairness.
