Deloitte is now looking at AI to help avoid mass layoffs in future

Deloitte LLP is leveraging artificial intelligence to assess the skills of its existing workforce and formulate plans for transitioning employees from less active business areas to roles with higher demand. This initiative is part of a broader strategy by Deloitte to utilize technology in moderating hiring growth, demonstrating a proactive approach to workforce management.

Despite hiring 130,000 new staff members, Deloitte faced the challenge of restructuring certain business areas, leading to potential layoffs for existing employees in the US and UK. The application of AI aims to enhance efficiency in workforce allocation, minimizing the need for large-scale hirings and layoffs. Deloitte’s global chief talent officer, Stevan Rolls, emphasizes the objective of finding the right people more efficiently, highlighting the potential of AI in managing their substantial workforce, currently nearing 460,000 employees.
