💡 KPMG’s Bold Move: Staff to Be Rated on AI Usage – What HR and CEOs Can Learn
When a global giant like KPMG decides to rate employees on how they use AI tools in their annual performance reviews — you know the future of work has arrived. 🚀
Starting 2026, KPMG will assess staff on how effectively they use tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot. AI isn’t just an add-on anymore — it’s becoming a core performance competency.
So, what does this mean for HR departments and business leaders?
Here are five key takeaways 👇
1️⃣ Redefine Performance
Performance reviews must evolve. Add AI literacy and digital fluency to job KPIs and leadership competencies.
2️⃣ Upskill and Empower
Don’t just measure AI use — teach it. Create safe learning spaces for employees to experiment and grow.
3️⃣ Keep It Fair and Transparent
Not every role uses AI the same way. Ensure equal access, training, and clear communication to maintain trust.
4️⃣ Manage the Culture Shift
This is about mindset, not machines. Help employees see AI as a co-pilot, not a threat. Recognise those using it to innovate and improve outcomes.
5️⃣ Build a Future-Ready Workforce
Recruit, reward, and grow people who embrace AI with curiosity, ethics, and creativity.
⚖️ The Leadership Message
The future of performance is not just what you achieve, but how intelligently you achieve it.
KPMG’s move is bold — but soon, it may be the new normal.
Forward-thinking HR and business leaders who act now will set the standard for the AI-enabled workplace.
