If your HR data isn’t ready, your 2026 strategy isn’t either

January sets the direction for the entire year. New goals roll in, budgets tighten, and leadership expects HR to bring sharper insight into workforce needs and business risks. Many HR teams are ready to launch new processes and initiatives, but there is one unavoidable truth: you cannot execute a successful strategy in 2026 without a clean, aligned, and trusted data foundation.

‍

This session shows you what it takes to start the year on solid ground. We explore what “decision-ready” HR data really means in 2026 and how HR teams can use it to shape planning from day one. We focus on the realities most organisations face: growing data complexity, rising expectations from executives, and the difficulty of integrating information across fragmented systems.

‍

You will see how strong data practices create clarity for HR, confidence for leaders, and faster action across the organisation. You will also learn how a people-first HRIS brings the structure and consistency needed to support accurate reporting, better decision-making, and a complete view of the employee lifecycle.
