If 2025 was about “”supercharging,”” 2026 is about sustaining.

The pace hasn’t slowed. Between the evolution of AI, shifting trust, and a workforce that feels increasingly disconnected, “”relentless”” has become the baseline. For HR leaders, the challenge has moved from driving performance to sustaining it without breaking the human system.

Join future foHRward and The Roundtable on April 29 (5 PM – 7 PM) for an intimate, interactive conversation among Senior HR Leaders.

Together, we’ll unpack:
+ The 6 macro trends defining 2026.
+ The real impact of global volatility on our people.
+ Top priorities for meeting employees where they are while maintaining high performance.

We’ve limited seats to keep the conversation impactful. Register now through our bio link!

Employee listening doesn’t have to mean surveys, forms, and long wait times.

AI opens up the possibility of hearing from people in their own words, at scale, and quickly, if it’s designed with intention.

This clip is a reminder that the future of HR isn’t about collecting more feedback. It’s about understanding it better.

“What if hiring is the last resort?”

Burnout is your system talking. Not a defect. Not a weakness.

When people are stuck in survival mode for too long, it’s a signal, like a gas gauge, that something needs attention.
Not more pushing. Not more coping. Better conditions.

Listening to burnout changes the conversation from “who’s struggling?” to “what needs to change?”

That’s where better work starts.

“Stop trying to put out the fire.”

Anxiety at work isn’t always a problem to solve.

Sometimes it’s a signal.

If someone says “I feel anxious,” the work isn’t always reassurance.

It’s curiosity.

What’s underneath it?
What’s at stake?
What’s asking for attention?

This reframe changes how HR supports people, and how much weight we carry ourselves.

Learning was never meant to be efficient.

As AI accelerates work, we’re at risk of automating the very experiences that teach judgment, resilience, and critical thinking, especially for early-career talent.

This clip is a powerful reminder:
speed builds output, but learning builds leaders.

Watch. Reflect. Then ask yourself what you’re optimizing for.

An insights that changes how you think about turnover.

In this episode of foHRsight, James Terry, Head of US Revenue at Indeed Flex, shares a real example where the problem wasn’t pay or engagement. A shift starts at 7:00 a.m. The bus arrives at 7:15.

That’s the kind of friction AI can surface when it’s used well. Not to replace people, but to help HR leaders see what’s actually getting in the way and make better decisions alongside operations.

James works at the intersection of technology, labor, and frontline reality, helping organizations manage staffing and scheduling at scale through Indeed Flex.

We go deeper into how AI can uncover these hidden drivers in the full episode.

Most AI strategies fail before the first prompt is written….

In Ep. 157 of foHRsight, Naomi sits down with Vaseem bAIg (aka “The AI Guy”) to challenge how organizations approach AI adoption and why most are missing the human side of the equation.

This conversation goes beyond tools and trends, reframing AI as a mirror for how we communicate, learn, and lead at work.

This is a must listen before your AI rollout becomes shelfware. Find it wherever you get your podcasts 🎧

Fertility benefits aren’t a “nice to have”… They’re becoming a retention strategy.

In Ep. 156 of foHRsight, we sit down with Jackie Hanson, CEO & Co-founder of Sprout Family, to unpack why fertility and family-building support is quickly moving onto the business agenda.

From hidden productivity costs to talent retention and equity, this conversation challenges how organizations think about benefits, and what happens when support is missing.

Drawing on new research, this episode challenges common assumptions about high potentials and offers timely insight for leaders who want to keep their best talent growing, not grinding.

Listen in and rethink how you lead high performers.
