Are you ready for the AI-powered HR revolution?

According to Zendesk’s latest research, 2025 marks the turning point where forward-thinking HR teams begin transforming how they serve employees. And by 2028, nearly every HR touchpoint—from answering a question to anticipating a need—will involve artificial intelligence.

At Gravity CX, we help organisations prepare for this shift using Zendesk's powerful support tools. If you're in HR, you won’t want to miss this moment.

What’s changing?

Zendesk surveyed 600 HR leaders and 800 employees in late 2024, uncovering three powerful trends shaping the future of employee service:


1. Employees Expect 24/7 Support—And AI Delivers

More than half of employees feel HR isn’t available when they need them most. They want fast, seamless answers—just like they get from customer service chatbots.

🔍 By 2028, 90% of HR leaders expect employees will interact with AI first before speaking to a human. AI is already helping teams manage repetitive questions and guide employees to helpful content without delay.


2. Personalisation Builds Trust

While AI handles the basics, personalisation is where it wins hearts.
62% of employees want more personalised HR support based on their individual circumstances—and 91% of HR leaders believe top companies will deliver it using AI.

🎯 Imagine an AI agent that knows your role, location, and benefits eligibility—and responds accordingly. That’s not a future dream. It’s happening now.


3. From Reactive to Proactive Support

HR’s not just about answering questions anymore. It’s about solving problems before they happen.

📅 AI can remind employees to renew credentials, complete open enrollment, or book time off before deadlines pass—boosting efficiency and satisfaction across the board.
