The 2027 horizon: What senior HR leaders need to prepare for now

About this event

Part of our senior leaders stream of monthly events for HR leaders delivering strategy for their organisation

Economic uncertainty, evolving legislation, shifting workforce expectations and accelerating technological change are reshaping the landscape facing organisations. As businesses look for sustainable growth, the role of HR leaders has never been more critical.

Join fellow senior people leaders for a forward-looking discussion exploring the trends, risks and opportunities likely to shape the people agenda in 2027 and beyond.

We'll examine the economic, organisational and workforce challenges that are emerging on the horizon, and consider how HR leaders can position their organisations for long-term success through workforce capability, leadership, culture, organisational resilience and strategic people planning.

This session will provide an opportunity to step back from day-to-day priorities and explore what the future may demand of organisations, leaders and the people profession.

We'll explore:

• The economic and business trends expected to influence organisations in 2027
• Emerging legislative and regulatory developments
• Workforce challenges and changing skills requirements
• Leadership priorities in an increasingly complex environment
• Organisational resilience, adaptability and growth
• The evolving role of HR in shaping business success

Further details and speakers will be announced soon.
