As AI reshapes work, expectations continue to rise, and talent and healthcare costs place growing pressure on organizations, CHROs are being asked to modernize HR service models without compromising workforce experiences.

New joint research from Conduent and Mercer reveals widening gaps between what employees expect and what HR leaders prioritize — gaps that have real consequences. The findings show that 78% of employees say HR significantly impacts their overall company experience, and 79% link that experience to loyalty, yet many HR digital environments still fall short as organizations accelerate automation and AI adoption.

Join this webinar to explore how leading organizations are rethinking the HR experience model for an AI‑driven future. We’ll introduce a practical framework for blending intelligent automation with empathy and service design, and discuss how HR leaders can strengthen trust, retention, and organizational readiness while navigating rising expectations and resource constraints. Participants will also be invited to reflect on their experience readiness and competitiveness.

You will learn:

  • Where employee expectations and HR delivery misalign — and how digital experience gaps erode trust and loyalty
  • Where automation creates value — and where human connection must remain
  • Which areas offer the greatest opportunity for experience impact and ROI
  • How to define and measure success as HR service models evolve
  • What capabilities HR teams need to succeed in an AI‑accelerated future

AI is transforming every stage of the talent lifecycle — making how you govern it as critical as what it can do. Organizations can no longer rely on black‑box models or unchecked automation; trust must be engineered, continuously governed, and proven. As AI shifts from optional to operational, transparency and governance have become board‑level imperatives.

In this webinar, Varun Kacholia, Co‑founder and CTO of Eightfold, and Meghna Punhani, Chief People Officer at Eightfold, are joined by Bill Pelster of the Josh Bersin Company for an in‑depth conversation on what responsible AI really means in HR and how to put those principles into practice.

Tune in to the conversation to better understand:

  • How this wave of AI is changing the fundamentals of people decisions and expectations of HR.
  • What it means to design AI for transparency, fairness, and accountability rather than bolt them on after the fact.
  • How to move from intent to evidence with bias testing, monitoring, and governance that stand up to regulators and boards.
  • How leaders can operationalize trust — through governance, standards, and oversight — so AI strengthens, rather than erodes, confidence in talent decisions.

Overview

Mental health leaves of absence are rising fast, and most employer strategies are quietly making them more expensive.

61% of HR leaders told Spring Health that their organization’s mental health leaves have increased in the last year, with 16% saying they’ve increased by 25% or more in that time. However, many organizations still treat leave as the end of the problem. Once an employee goes out, support often becomes fragmented, engagement drops, and the real costs surface later through longer leaves, repeat absences, turnover, and lost productivity. When leave experiences go poorly, half of employees quit or begin searching for a new job.

This session challenges the outdated leave-first mindset and reframes mental health LOA as a clinical and financial signal, not a failure. HR and Benefits leaders will explore how precision mental health care enables earlier intervention, safer stay-at-work support, and more effective care during leave — all of which reduce avoidable leaves, shorten duration when leave is necessary, and prevent costly repeat cycles.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify early mental health signals before leave becomes the only option
  • Build stay-at-work support that protects employees and productivity
  • Close the critical “missing middle” during leave, where outcomes and costs are most at risk
  • Use precision care to control total cost while improving clinical outcomes and employee trust

For HR and Benefits leaders under pressure to manage rising LOA volume and demonstrate measurable business impact, this session shows why precision is the new cost containment — and how modern mental health strategies create value employees feel and finance teams can see.

Overview

Ever wish you could look into the future? Not in a fortune-telling way, but through a grounded, data-driven glimpse that drives better choices?

By 2030, 39% of workers’ core skills will change. Changes in federal policy from last year are accelerating the shrinkage of some industries and careers while accelerating others. If we continue to hire based on today’s skills, yesterday’s experiences, and use static keywords for matching (especially as AI-written resumes are the new norm), we will be unable to fill open roles effectively. This in turn hinders the ability to maximize stability, resilience, and enable the movement of the most capable talent across the economy into the roles where people will thrive.

In order to lead a high-performing HR function in 2026, you must leverage the technology and data that exists to enable better hiring for successful outcomes.

Mike Rosenbaum, Founder and CEO of Arena, shares how HR leaders are architecting workforce stability and hiring people across industries and careers. Based on real-time outcomes, behavioral, and skills data on 4.1 million workers and job seekers, Mike will share how it is possible for you to hire people who never considered a role in your industry or a given career.

By harnessing the Arena platform, enterprises across every industry are generating results that are reducing turnover by an average of 21% and filling hard to fill roles with people who will stay longer and perform better, all in as little as 30 days.

Join this webinar to learn:

  • Why outcome data is the #1 predictor of future success
  • Potential-based hiring from outcome-based models over keywords/skills games to future-proof your workforce
  • How “Adversarial Fairness” keeps you compliant and out of trouble
