A/NZ AI Anxiety Remains Despite Broad Recognition Of Value: ManageEngine Study
Press Release – ManageEngine Nearly two-thirds of respondents believe organisations cannot afford to ignore AI despite 57 per cent expressing some anxiety. Sydney, AUSTRALIA — 11 June, 2025 — ManageEngine, a division of Zoho Corporation and leading provider of enterprise IT management solutions, today announced results from its study, Navigating AI anxiety: A/NZ organisations in 2025. The study, which consisted of more than 300 IT decision-makers and professionals across Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ), reveals a growing tension between enthusiasm for AI and anxiety over its implementation. Nearly two-thirds (63 per cent) of respondents believe they can't afford to ignore AI, highlighting the technology's growing influence in shaping business strategy and competitiveness. Yet, more than half (57 per cent) also admit to feeling anxious about integrating AI into their operations, citing a lack of skills, resources, and clarity around its long-term impact. This study, commissioned by ManageEngine and conducted by Telsyte, gathered insights from 300 ICT professionals and decision-makers across small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and large enterprises. AI anxiety hits the workforce The findings reveal that AI is seen as a critical driver of efficiency (49 per cent), better customer experience (48 per cent), enhanced cybersecurity (44 per cent), and cost reduction (42 per cent). However, this level of adoption is also triggering significant anxiety about job security, the adoption of new technologies, and the challenge of keeping pace with AI advances among employees. The impact of this transition is becoming increasingly apparent. More than half of the respondents (59 per cent) report frequent stress when it comes to keeping pace with AI advancements, with a similar percentage feeling less secure about their jobs. Over a third (34 per cent) say this pressure makes them more hesitant to adopt new technologies altogether, despite 76 per cent of respondents acknowledging clear benefits from using AI in the workplace. Organisations respond, but is it enough? Seventy percent of respondents believe their organisations have been effective in addressing employee stress. Despite this, nearly half (43 per cent) of respondents say they will need a clearer, more comprehensive plan to manage the impact of AI, and 52 per cent revealed that more training, resources, and communication are essential. Similarly, 51 per cent are calling for stronger ethical guidelines and more human oversight in AI applications. 'The AI adoption is clearly underway across Australia and New Zealand, said Rajesh Ganesan CEO at ManageEngine. While it is encouraging to see organisations already have good adoption of AI, it is both surprising and concerning to see the skill gap being the biggest barrier to fully leveraging AI. Organisations must invest in that area to not only see the RoI but also to ensure it does not open backdoors and additional vectors for attacks. Simply deploying AI is not enough anymore—organisations must consider implementing AI in a manner that supports outcomes that are employee centric.' Other Key Findings In terms of AI implementation, enterprises in A/NZ are slightly ahead, with 95 per cent adoption compared to 89 per cent among SMBs. The majority (97 per cent) of A/NZ respondents say they lack some form of AI skills, highlighting the need for upskilling in integrations, machine learning, and model training. 75 per cent of ICT professionals and leaders surveyed are confident in their organisation's mandates and policies in ensuring the ethical use of AI. As organisations across A/NZ continue to adapt and evolve, this report highlights the need for an employee-centric AI integration approach.

AI boosts business in ANZ, but staff anxiety & skill gaps grow
A recent study of organisations in Australia and New Zealand has found that while artificial intelligence is widely regarded as essential for business success, its rapid adoption is generating notable anxiety among employees. The research, commissioned by ManageEngine and conducted by Telsyte, surveyed over 300 IT decision-makers and professionals across both small-to-medium businesses and large enterprises in the region. Competing attitudes According to the report, nearly two-thirds (63 per cent) of respondents believe that organisations cannot afford to ignore AI as it becomes increasingly integral to business strategy and competitiveness. Despite this, more than half (57 per cent) confessed to feeling uneasy about implementing AI in their operations, citing uncertainties surrounding required skills, available resources, and its long-term implications. Respondents identified several advantages of AI, with 49 per cent highlighting improved efficiency, 48 per cent better customer experience, 44 per cent enhanced cybersecurity, and 42 per cent citing cost reduction as key benefits. Nevertheless, these opportunities are also paired with greater concerns about workforce stability and the pace of technological change. Workforce pressure The study found that the impact of these changes is already noticeable in the workplace. More than half (59 per cent) of those surveyed reported feeling frequent stress over keeping pace with AI's advancement, while a similar proportion said it had reduced their sense of job security. Significantly, 34 per cent of respondents indicated that this pressure has made them less willing to adopt new technologies, although a substantial 76 per cent acknowledged the clear benefits of utilising AI at work. Organisational response Seventy per cent of respondents believe their organisations have worked effectively to address employee stress related to AI. However, concerns remain about the sufficiency of these efforts. Nearly half (43 per cent) indicated a need for a more comprehensive strategy for managing AI's impact, with 52 per cent calling for additional training, resources, and communication. Similarly, 51 per cent of participants advocated for stronger ethical guidelines and increased human oversight in the deployment of AI applications. "The AI adoption is clearly underway across Australia and New Zealand, said Rajesh Ganesan CEO at ManageEngine. While it is encouraging to see organisations already have good adoption of AI, it is both surprising and concerning to see the skill gap being the biggest barrier to fully leveraging AI. Organisations must invest in that area to not only see the RoI but also to ensure it does not open backdoors and additional vectors for attacks. Simply deploying AI is not enough anymore—organisations must consider implementing AI in a manner that supports outcomes that are employee centric." Implementation and skills The survey revealed that large enterprises in Australia and New Zealand are slightly ahead in AI adoption, with 95 per cent implementation compared to 89 per cent among small-to-medium businesses. However, a pronounced skills gap remains, as 97 per cent of respondents stated they lacked some form of AI competency, particularly in areas such as integrations, machine learning, and model training. Three-quarters of ICT professionals and leaders reported confidence in their organisation's frameworks to ensure the ethical use of AI, yet the survey points to an ongoing need for both continuous upskilling and the reinforcement of ethical standards as deployments grow. The report underlines that as organisations in the region continue to integrate AI into their operations, it is essential for approaches to be employee-centric—balancing the benefits of technological progress with the need to support workforce stability and development.

Netflix unveils first major makeover to TV homepage in over a decade in change dubbed 'the new Netlfix
Netflix has announced a major redesign to its TV homepage dubbed "the new Netflix" that will change how subscribers access and search for TV shows and movies on the platform. Netflix has announced a major makeover to the platform that will change how subscribers access content, in what has been dubbed 'the new Netflix'. An updated TV home page set to be rolled out in coming weeks has been unveiled, which the company has said will make it easier for subscribers to find something they want to watch. Among the changes in the redesign are reactive recommendations that respond to users as they browse and a new navigation bar. The TV home page's search function and 'My List' were previously hidden away on the left-hand side, and it was hoped moving the shortcuts to the top would make them more noticeable and accessible. Netflix chief product officer Eunice Kim labelled the update 'the new Netflix TV experience' in a statement on Wednesday. 'When we first started thinking about this project, we wanted to create an experience that was more flexible for our broad entertainment offerings, more intuitive and responsive to our members' needs, and capable of elevating the most thrilling moments on Netflix,' Ms Kim said. The redesign marks Netflix's first major makeover to the home page since 2013. In a presentation about the update, Ms Kim said the company has been 'constantly improving' over the last 12 years. — Netflix (@netflix) May 7, 2025 The new home page will be 'simpler' and 'more intuitive', making it easier for Netflix members to find TV shows, films and live events that they will enjoy, Ms Kim said. 'We reach a very large global audience, more than 700 million people with incredibly diverse tastes. No entertainment company has programmed with this ambition before for this many tastes, cultures and languages,' she said. Changes for mobile users of the streaming platform have also been announced, and the company will be testing out a vertical feed of TV show and film clips. Research firm Telsyte reported in September last year that Netflix remained the clear leader in the Australian Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) service market with 6.2 million subscriptions as of the end of June, 2024. The next most popular platform in the country was Amazon Prime Video with 4.8 million subscribers, followed by Disney+ with 3.1 million.
