The State of Workforce
Transformation

Six months into 2026, what are companies' top priorities when it comes to people, talent, and culture? And what's standing in the way of meaningful workforce transformation?

Join Paradigm's CEO Joelle Emerson for an exclusive look at new benchmark data from more than 700 organizations, including where companies are investing, how priorities are shifting, and what separates organizations that are adapting from those that are falling behind.

What we'll cover:

• The top workforce priorities shaping 2026, including where organizations are focusing their time, resources, and budgets.
• The middle manager squeeze, with new data on manager readiness, expanding spans of control, and why middle management may be the biggest constraint on organizational transformation.
• What's really holding back AI adoption, from the hidden barriers preventing AI from scaling to what leading organizations are doing differently.
• The challenge of retaining high performers, including new benchmarks on manager effectiveness, career development, attrition, and other factors shaping today's talent strategies.

This webinar is designed for HR leaders who want to benchmark where other organizations are focused, uncover gaps to success, and ultimately prepare their teams to lead the next phase of workforce transformation.
