Nearly 50% of Polish employees are already using generative AI tools in their professional work, according to the Michael Page Talent Trends 2025 report. Most users say AI boosts their productivity and improves the quality of their output. However, only one in five respondents feels properly prepared by their employer to work with these technologies.
AI Tools Becoming a Daily Workplace Reality
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Microsoft Copilot have become part of everyday life for many professionals. According to the report, 47% of Polish employees say they use AI tools in their jobs, and a striking 74% of them use them at least once a week.
AI is no longer a novelty in the workplace — it’s becoming a standard. It supports operations, shortens task completion time, and enhances team performance. Among employees who use AI at work, 71% report increased productivity, 69% have noticed better work quality, and 65% say AI allows them to focus on more fulfilling tasks.
“The growing popularity of AI-driven tools has encouraged Polish professionals to embrace them at work. But it’s crucial to remember that AI is still just a tool. Its effectiveness depends on the user’s ability to set clear expectations, verify results, and apply the necessary refinements,” said Kacper Grabowski, Senior Director and Management Board Member at Michael Page. “These skills will become increasingly important. That’s why it’s in every worker’s interest to follow AI developments and continue improving their ability to use these tools to enhance productivity.”
Employees Want Clear Guidelines and Training
While generative AI is spreading fast in Polish workplaces, much of its adoption happens outside official IT systems — one in three users relies on tools not provided by their employer. At the same time, only 21% of workers believe their company has prepared them adequately to work with AI, while over half feel unsupported or unsure. This signals an urgent need for clear internal policies and effective training programs that help employees harness the full potential of AI.
“The rise of AI tools presents a challenge for employers,” Grabowski noted. “Successful implementation requires adapting internal processes, training teams, and introducing clear usage guidelines — especially around data protection. Some companies are investing in proprietary AI systems to ensure sensitive data remains secure. At Michael Page, we also use AI tools, guided by internal policies and best practices that govern their everyday use. We’ve already seen positive effects on efficiency in early performance metrics.”
Grabowski added that in some companies, AI adoption may lead to fewer people being required for specific tasks. However, since the beginning of 2024, there has been a noticeable rise in organizations creating new roles focused on process optimization and AI implementation.
