As Canadians prepare to lose an hour in their day from daylight savings, a new HP Canada survey reveals that 71% of Canadian workers who use a computer for work dread catching up on unread emails and administrative tasks after time changes—especially following daylight savings, time off from long weekends, and extended leave.
The findings highlight a growing demand for AI-powered tools to help workers save time and boost productivity. However, 59% of Canadian workers have little to no direct experience with AI or don’t know how it works, meaning there is still more work to be done to fully realize AI’s potential.
Key Takeaways:
- Nice Canadians become not-so-nice: 35% of Canadian workers report feeling crankier, less polite, and curt in communication when sleep-deprived due to time changes.
- Expect the unproductive: 22% predict they’ll be less productive, and 28% say they won’t be their best selves if they lose an hour of sleep.
- Appetite for AI: 61% believe AI can help them complete work more efficiently and 63% say AI could help them tackle administrative tasks faster.
- Top of the tool wish list: 46% want AI tools to locate documents/emails quickly and 27% are interested in tools that can capture their voice and tone.
The potential and benefit for businesses to empower Canadians with AI-enabled technology is strong. HP Canada’s Next-Gen AI PC portfolio is designed to address these challenges, helping professionals get caught up faster, automate repetitive tasks, and enhance collaboration—all while keeping their data secure.
