Companies keep cutting jobs in the name of efficiency. A new survey suggests the work isn’t disappearing.
Korn Ferry’s Workforce 2026 report, released in September and based on a survey of more than 16,000 professionals across 11 global markets, found that 62% of respondents said their workloads had increased significantly over the past two years, and 61% said they were performing the responsibilities of more than one role. Nearly half, 45%, said they were too busy to deliver meaningful results that contribute to growth.
