Our annual report takes the pulse of the profession. We surveyed more than 1,000 HR practitioners about their success, challenges, and priorities for 2026.
Join Colby Nesbitt, Director of Talent Management and People Analytics at Lattice, alongside Chuck Marcelin, Director of HR at Hudson Valley Property Group, Regina Ross, EVP, Chief People & Operations Officer at Opportunity Finance Group, and Alan Cairns, CPO at GoCardless — as they share unique perspectives and live reactions to the findings, and leave you with takeaways to strengthen your people strategy.
This year’s report shows HR at a crossroads: Performance is rising to the top of the priority list, AI is moving from hype to hands-on, and the most effective teams are betting big on DEIB, experimentation, and clarity in the face of polarization.
What you’ll learn:
- Why HR practitioners are staying — and what’s driving some to consider leaving
- How high-performing teams are balancing performance with DEIB
- What’s fueling cautious optimism around AI adoption in HR
- How teams are handling tech consolidation without compromising strategy

Your people are your business
Ensure both are successful with Lattice.
