Setting the stage
The We360.ai Modern Workplace Index 2025 is committed to redefining workplace norms and advancing the conversation around modern productivity. This year’s Index offers a thorough analysis of employee behavior trends, based on three years of data from over 3,000 companies. This makes it one of the most trusted and in-depth reports on workplace habits, providing valuable insights into how people work, adapt, and thrive in today’s rapidly changing professional landscape.
The study explores key factors such as productivity, engagement, focus, work location, and AI adoption to reveal current workplace dynamics and help organizations plan for the future. Notably, workdays are becoming more concentrated, with employees compressing their productivity into shorter, focused timeframes.
Encouragingly, employee well-being is also improving, with 75% of employees maintaining healthy work patterns—the highest level recorded in three years. Meanwhile, AI adoption has surged by an estimated 60–80% over the past year, marking a clear shift from initial experimentation to more consistent, integrated use.
Together, these technological advancements and shifting location preferences are reshaping traditional work models, challenging organizations to evolve their strategies to boost employee productivity and engagement in this new era.
Key Highlights
Most employees are logged in and active for a large portion of the day, but only a fraction of that time is spent on truly productive tasks.
In IT Services, employees log 91% working hours, remain 55% active, but only 51% productive.
In Healthcare, despite 88% working hours, productive time drops to just 41%, showing that much of the time is spent on non-core tasks.
The Legal industry performs best, with 60% productive time closely aligned with 54% active time and 94% working hours, indicating efficient use of time.
The data highlights clear productivity patterns from AI adoption. Employees are achieving measurable efficiency gains through specialized tools - ChatGPT (30+ hours) and Perplexity (26+ hours) handle complex workflows, while Tradeon.ai (12 hours) streamlines repetitive tasks.
However, using 58+ different tools creates operational complexity, potentially leading to fragmented attention and diluted focus. The significant 21-hour usage of copilot.microsoft.com demonstrates strong adoption of AI-assisted collaboration tools.
We360.ai uses advanced AI to monitor, analyze, and optimize workforce performance—turning complex productivity data into clear, actionable insights for faster, smarter decisions across the organization.
