Event Details

In 2025, HR leadership is navigating an increasingly complex landscape shaped by persistent global macroeconomic challenges, including inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, and shifting labour markets. Leaders are being called to balance cost-efficiency with the need to attract, retain, and engage top talent in a hybrid and digital-first work environment- this places critical stresses on a workforce facing noise and needing to plan and balance these demands. Strategic workforce planning has become paramount, with a focus on building agile, resilient teams that can adapt to economic volatility. Moreover, HR is playing a critical role in driving organisational transformation by fostering a culture of continuous learning, inclusivity, and well-being - ensuring that companies remain competitive and people-centric amid uncertainty.


Join us on 30 May as we sit down with fellow HR executives to unpack and share learnings, creating shared value in a time when workplace pressures are at their zenith.

Please note that this event is limited to senior-level executives and per invitation only. If you are not an existing member of The Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, but would like to learn how you can attend our events, please contact us.
