HR Trends 2027

Learn key HR trends for 2027 and how organizations are optimizing HR strategies to succeed in the new world of work.

Through their annual HR Trends Survey, QTI aims to provide businesses with critical HR insights by providing guidance on topics such as compensation, benefits, careers, employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, and workforce planning. For over a decade, the results of their HR Trends survey have been a trusted resource to organizations as they plan their future HR strategies – while also providing insight on regional business trends.

Employers have been faced with constant change over the last 4+ years while trying to understand and adapt to this evolving world of work.  They have been forced to rethink HR fundamentals and navigate unexpected hurdles from vaccination requirements and government mandates to inflation’s effect on pay,  hybrid workplaces, and more.  How do employers keep up?  Each year, QTI surveys Wisconsin employers on HR challenges and trends, covering topics such as talent attraction and retention strategies, compensation and benefits, diversity and inclusion, and more.

Learn how to:

  • Interpret key survey findings from The QTI Group to understand current workforce trends
  • Apply data-driven insights to adapt workplace practices and strengthen decision-making
  • Identify actionable solutions to address challenges in today’s evolving world of work

Session attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the survey results.
