Workers are ‘habit hugging’ despite new training, survey finds

A TalentLMS survey of 1,500 U.S. employees finds fewer than half consistently apply new ways of working after training — a phenomenon the company calls 'habit hugging.' Among workers expected to use AI on the job, more than a third said they sometimes revert to old methods, and 73% reported blending old and new approaches. Managerial behavior emerges as a critical lever: adoption rates were 49% when managers modeled new methods themselves, versus just 22% when they did not.
