State Of The Workforce Trends Part 2: The AI Leadership Imperative: Why Employee Experience will Determine your AI ROI
Speaker: James Longabaugh
Artificial intelligence is changing how work gets done, but many organizations are still navigating the critical gap between AI adoption and AI value realization. In this session, we'll explore why employee experience, not just technology, will determine your AI ROI. Drawing on recent research and cross-industry client work, we’ll examine the current state of AI adoption, including the rise of “shadow AI,” where two-thirds of employees use unauthorized tools at work. You’ll leave with five practical, immediately actionable strategies to accelerate AI adoption, build employee confidence, address security and job concerns, and position AI skills as a powerful asset for attracting and retaining top talent.

State Of The Workforce Trends Part 3: The Return-to-Office Playbook: Employee Experience Insights for Today’s Leaders
Speaker: Cameron Klein
Six years after the pandemic fundamentally transformed how we work, organizations continue to grapple with one of the most consequential decisions facing business leaders today: Where should employees work? Part 3 of the 2026 State of the Workforce Trends webinar explores the strategic implications of return-to-office decisions that shape culture, productivity, talent acquisition and organizational success. In this session, we will examine areas where remote and hybrid employees demonstrate clear advantages over their onsite cohorts. By way of contrast, areas that seem to favor onsite arrangements will also be detailed. In conclusion, attendees will be provided with evidence-based recommendations to help leaders make informed, strategic decisions about workforce models in an evolving workplace landscape.
