Webinar 1: The Structural Evolution

  Tuesday, 21 July | 11am – 12pm AEST

The first session focuses on transformation, workforce strategy, and the structural shifts reshaping Talent functions.

• AI Strategy & Governance: Where the 244 organisations are on their AI infrastructure.  
• Agents & Agentic Benefits: Where respondents see the greatest value, contrasted against the biggest barriers slowing adoption.
• The Skills-Based Organisation: What it really means, who typically leads it, how organisations are getting started, and the implications for TA teams.
• Org-Wide Redundancies: What has been driving organisation-wide redundancies over the past 12 months.
• Strategic Focus: Where HR and Talent teams are concentrating their attention in 2026, from SBO to AI and Work Redesign to Talent Advisory.

Webinar 2: The Operational Benchmark

  Tuesday, 28 July | 11am – 12pm AEST

The second session focuses on delivery, capability, maturity, and the emerging trends impacting hiring in 2026.

We’ll dive into the operational mechanics behind modern Talent functions:

• Hiring Intentions & Team Size: Are organisations planning for headcount growth or decline and by comparison, how the size of TA teams compare across the market.
• Process Maturity: From standardised scorecards through to formal AI usage guidelines.
• TA Strategy & Business Alignment: Benchmark your organisation against regional averages for strategic strength and business alignment.
• Past Delivery vs Future Confidence: A comparison between hiring delivery over the past 12 months and confidence levels for the year ahead across strategy, process, and technology.
• Candidate Fraud: How prepared Talent teams are to detect sophisticated candidate fraud and the key methods they are using.
• The Changing Role of TA: The extent to which Talent Leaders expect AI to reshape the composition of TA teams by 2028.

Register to attend below, and we’ll automatically register you for both sessions. All attendees also walk away with a written report to make it easy to take intel back to your Organisation. Both sessions include interactive chat and Q&A with the panel. It’s free to attend, we’d love to have you there.
