According to a study, an overwhelming majority of Indian respondents (86%) think that automation can reduce burnout and increase job satisfaction.
It was also discovered that if businesses use business automation to support staff and update operations, 85% of Indian workers will have a more favourable opinion of them.
These results are essential given the ongoing discussion about how automation and AI may replace many human occupations in the near future.
The UiPath survey observed that employees are being forced to perform more work with less help, with 53% of Indian respondents reporting that they had been required to perform more responsibilities at work during the previous six months due to layoffs or hiring freezes.
Media sources claim that since 2022, the funding crunch has resulted in 27,000 job losses among Indian companies alone. One lakh job layoffs have been reported by the US technology sector so far in 2023, up 38,487 percent from the 267 cuts the sector disclosed in the first quarter of 2022, according to another report.
This week, it was announced that 500 Amazon employees would be let go from their jobs in India.
“India is poised to become a USD 5 trillion economy by 2025, and automation will play a crucial role in this journey,” said Arun Balasubramanian, Vice President and Managing Director, India & South Asia, UiPath.
Workload is stressing out employees
More than one in four workers (36%) report feeling burned out, which suggests that the increased workload is having a negative impact on workers. The Automation Generation has emerged as more workers rely on AI tools to provide relief.
The professionals who are embracing AI and automation to be more collaborative, creative, and productive are referred to as the “Automation Generation,” which does not reflect a particular age or demographic. According to the UiPath survey, this generation of workers wants technology to improve both their personal and professional lives and keep them from feeling like robots.
All respondents reported using business automation tools at work in about 63% of cases. 96% of the workers that make up the automation generation believe they have the tools and assistance necessary to perform their jobs well. 94% of respondents think business automation technologies can improve job satisfaction and reduce burnout.
Intriguingly, the survey also discovered that older workers were more open to the possibility of AI-powered automation aiding them at work, with 91% of “Baby Boomer” respondents stating that automation will help them do their jobs more effectively.
Other age groups also expressed similar sentiments, with 87% of Generation Z, 86% of Millennials, and 84% of Generation X respondents saying they were open to AI-powered automation aiding them with their jobs.
Organisations must use automation to supplement human talents and create a productive workforce as the basis for long-term business growth, continued Balasubramanian. “Coupled with the rising levels of burnout due to increased workload for employees, organisations must leverage automation to build a productive workforce.”
