Each year, we bring together insights from HR and payroll – and now L&D and benefits – professionals to get a clearer picture of what’s ahead for the world of work. We’re turning our attention to next year – and we want to hear from you.
Our 2026 lookahead survey is now live. It’s your chance to share your perspective on the key challenges, priorities and opportunities facing your function in the year ahead. Your insights will help us shape the content, resources and guidance we create – from webinars and blog posts to downloadable guides – ensuring they’re as relevant and useful as possible for professionals like you.
It only takes around 10 minutes to complete and, as a thank you, you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win one of three £20 coffee shop vouchers.
Why your input matters
The workplace is evolving faster than ever. From new employment legislation and advances in AI to shifting employee expectations and changing pay transparency rules, HR and payroll teams have a lot to prepare for in 2026.
Your feedback helps us pinpoint where organisations are focusing their efforts – and where more support and resources are needed. Together, we can build a clearer picture of what the next 12 months will bring, and how people teams can stay ahead.
If you missed last year’s insights, check out our 2025 lookahead series for a sense of what’s changed – and what’s stayed the same:
