Intelligent agents are now embedded across industries, prompting a major shift in roles, skills and training priorities. As employers redesign workflows to incorporate autonomous systems, the focus is shifting from displacement to redeployment—and from generic training to targeted, context-aware learning.
The integration of agentic AI into enterprise workflows is forcing organisations to reconsider not just how they work, but how they are structured. Autonomous agents are no longer confined to peripheral automations—they’re stepping into core business processes, prompting a rethink of roles, responsibilities and reporting lines. This transformation is less about job replacement and more about systemic redesign—where AI becomes part of the organisational fabric.

With Agentforce, Salesforce is no longer building tools for users—it’s building teammates for them.
