About this Event
Today’s talent landscape is more complex and competitive than ever. Employers must rethink how they design and deliver talent strategies that respond to rising expectations, increasing skills scarcity, and growing pressure for measurable business impact. This workshop will explore what truly enables organisations to stand out—and move from insight to action.
Alongside this, Talent Acquisition and workforce leaders are under increasing pressure to use data, intelligence, and AI responsibly to anticipate talent needs, identify skill gaps, and inform better decision-making. We’ll examine how workforce analytics and emerging technologies can support the human experience, enable smarter planning, and help organisations stay ahead of market change.
Join senior Talent Acquisition and HR leaders for a practical, insight-led workshop, focused on building future-ready talent strategies. Through expert keynotes, interactive panel discussions, and peer-led roundtables, we’ll explore how organisations can elevate TA as a strategic partner, strengthen employer brand and EVP, and prioritise effectively for the years ahead.
What to expect:
Opening Insight: The New Realities of Talent in 2026
We’ll begin with a sharp look at the shifts every TA and HR leader should have on their radar — from changing candidate expectations to the increasing pressure for data‑driven workforce planning and, of course, how AI is shaping the workforce agenda.
Panel Discussions: Building Future‑Ready Talent Strategies
Our featured speakers and panellists will share their insights on building effective resourcing capability, successfully assessing high volumes and critical skills, optimising complex tech roll-outs, building a blended workforce, and much more.
Peer Roundtables: Turning Insight into Action
You’ll join fellow senior leaders for focused discussions on the most urgent topics, including workforce design, skills anticipation, and strategic prioritisation. Expect candid conversation and practical takeaways.
Closing Conversation: Your Workforce and Talent Leader’s Priorities for the Year Ahead
We’ll finish by bringing the themes together, identifying the actions that will matter most in the next 6–12 months.
This is a complimentary, invite-only workshop, designed exclusively for HR, Talent Acquisition, and Workforce leaders. Register your interest now to secure your place.
