Across the Asia‑Pacific (APAC) region, employees are navigating more change, more pressure, and more technological disruption than ever before — and they’re doing it without the clarity, support, and confidence they need to move forward. Belonging is low, communication is thin, and AI readiness remains in its early stages. Only 21% of APAC employees feel a strong sense of belonging, just 10% feel informed when organisational changes affect their job, and only 14% feel supported adapting to new AI‑enabled tools. These numbers aren’t just troubling. They reveal a widening AI readiness gap that is quickly becoming a board‑level risk.
