Adecco Group whitepaper argues AI is reshaping work and calls for hybrid workforce orchestration

Executive summary: Adecco Group released a whitepaper stating that AI is transforming work and outlining how organizations can orchestrate people, AI agents and physical AI. The paper highlights a pressing need for firms to redesign work processes as AI accelerates task change, affecting productivity, labor planning and competitive advantage in tight labor markets.

Who is involved: Adecco Group (HR services provider), OECD (employment statistics referenced), and multinational employers considering AI adoption.

Likely next: Employers will pilot hybrid workforce models, driving demand for AI orchestration platforms, upskilling programs and consulting services focused on human‑AI collaboration.

The Adecco Group‑commissioned whitepaper released on July 23 2026 finds that artificial intelligence is changing tasks more rapidly than it is eliminating jobs, but the adjustment is uneven across industries and regions. It recommends that firms orchestrate human employees, AI agents and physical AI systems to capture productivity gains while managing workforce disruption. The paper cites OECD data showing employment rates near historic highs, underscoring the urgency for companies to adapt their talent models.
