The world of work is at a turning point. Rapid technological change, the rise of AI, and evolving expectations are redefining how organizations create value and how HR leaders can build competitive advantage. Drawing on insights from nearly 12’000 executives, HR leaders, employees, and investors across 16 geographies and industries, the Mercer Global Talent Trends 2026 research reveals four transformative workforce shifts that are already reshaping the future. Employee thriving is at its lowest point since 2018, signaling urgent challenges in health, wealth, and career growth that demand new strategies. 

In our series of webinars, you’ll deep dive into these shifts and discover what they mean for productivity, resilience, and sustainable growth. Together, we’ll explore:

• The human-machine era: How can work be redesigned to better connect human capabilities with automation? 

• Why AI alone is not enough: How AI is being used in the workplace and the impact it can have 

• HR reinvention: How can organizations  prepare for an AI-driven future of work? 

• Skills for tomorrow: Which future-ready skills will keep your workforce to stay competitive? 

• Attracting top talent: How can organizations further optimize their Employee Value Proposition to drive performance? 

The future is unfolding now. Will you lead the transformation or follow it? Join the discussion, ask questions during the live Q&A, and take away practical insights and benchmarks to support your decisions.
