CDW Canada (CDW) has released its 2026 AI Workplace Trends report, “Canada’s AI Workplace Evolution from Adoption to Accountability,” based on a survey of 1,011 Canadian office workers conducted by Earnscliffe in June 2026.
The research finds daily use of workplace‑approved AI tools has nearly doubled year over year to 31%, up from 18%, and about one third of employees report using agentic AI tools that can complete multistep workflows and make recommendations. Nearly one in three agentic AI users say their organizations are already building AI agents in‑house. Hands‑on training is tied to higher confidence, with 46% of trained workers very confident using AI versus 23% without formal support.
Employees with AI access increasingly report gains in productivity (58%, up 11 points vs. 2025), quality of outputs (54%, up 15 points) and innovation (48%, up 11 points), yet trust, accuracy concerns and limited ROI measurement persist. Only 38% of organizations track KPIs for AI, while 23% lack formal frameworks and 23% are unsure.
