Most HR leaders have already reached advanced AI adoption, yet only 36% feel confident they can keep it compliant.
AI has moved past the pilot stage in HR. It’s now embedded in everyday workflows, from recruiting to onboarding to performance management, and the teams using it well are seeing real results in speed, cost and even company growth. But adoption alone isn’t the same as getting it right, and most HR leaders know it.
Rippling’s new report draws on a survey of over 1,000 global HR and people operations leaders, offering a clear view of where AI adoption actually stands today, what’s working, where the risks are, and what the highest performing teams are doing differently.
What you’ll learn:
How far AI adoption has really progressed across HR teams, and what’s driving the fastest growth.
Where AI is already delivering measurable results, from recruitment to onboarding to reducing operating costs.
Why 92% of HR leaders say some decisions should never be made by AI alone, and which ones matter most.
What’s standing in the way of broader AI adoption, and how leading organisations are addressing it.
How to build the governance and compliance foundations that let AI adoption scale safely.

By unifying payroll, expenses, benefits, devices and third-party apps in a single, HMRC-approved system, Rippling lets you automate every part of the employee lifecycle and surface real-time insights on headcount, turnover and cost — all while keeping compliance airtight.
Take onboarding, for example. You can hire an employee anywhere in the world, choose locally compliant documents, and set up their payroll, laptop, benefits and apps — all within 90 seconds. Payroll then runs in minutes, not days, freeing teams to focus on priorities rather than admin.
