WorkBuzz Live! 2025: Are we really changing the world of work?

Transformation is everywhere—new tech, rising expectations, and shifting ideas about what people want from work. But beneath all that noise, are we really making progress?

WorkBuzz Live! 2025 brings together HR leaders for an honest look at what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to shift, fast.

Expect sharp insight, straight-talking panels, and meaningful discussion, with key sessions on:

  • People Priorities 2025: What’s Shaping the Future of Work – Fresh findings from our newly updated annual research
  • Creating a Better World of Work: What Must Change? – Interactive roundtables on what really matters in culture, leadership, and EX
  • Human + Tech: Striking the Right Balance – A client panel exploring how leading organisations are adopting AI, intentionally
  • Job-Crafting: A Meta-Skill for the AI Era – Keynote and practical workshop to explore this emerging skill

This isn’t just another future-of-work event - it’s a chance to step back, challenge the status quo, and get clearer on what comes next.
