Why HR must lead with data, not just people expertise

Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 11 a.m. ET | 4 p.m. BST

Helping HR lead with data and insight

For years, HR has prepared everyone else for the future of work. Now it's HR's turn. Today, HR leaders are increasingly expected to bring more than people expertise to the table. They are being asked to interpret workforce data, spot trends earlier, connect talent decisions to business priorities, and provide leaders with clearer guidance backed by evidence.

In many organizations, HR is no longer judged only by employee experience or operational efficiency, but by its ability to inform decisions that affect performance, planning, and risk. This shift is redefining what effective HR leadership looks like. The future of HR will require stronger fluency in data, analytics, and decision support, without losing sight of the people behind the numbers.

In this session, we’ll explore how the HR role is changing, what new capabilities this shift requires, and why better access to connected workforce data is becoming essential for HR teams that want to lead with greater influence and credibility.
