We do the same through our research, observations, LinkedIn comments, and personal engagements with 10,000 HR professionals and business leaders.
At the RBL Group Institute, we partner with senior HR leaders to pick four think tanks a year that capture emerging trends and where we can have dialogues to make progress.

HR is not about HR but about creating organizations that succeed in the marketplace. If an organization does not succeed in the marketplace, we have no workplace. So we will probe how HR delivers marketplace value to customers, investors, and communities.
Transformation
In a VUCA world, agility has become a key capability. We will explore specific skills to enable business, HR, and personal transformation. This will evolve agility from ideas to actions.
Digital Technology (AI) and HR
AI as a source of information will change how HR work is done. We will discuss how HR professionals can help their organizations enact a digital (AI) strategic agenda. We will also examine how AI advances how HR work is done.

Employee Expectations
The employee/organization relationship continues to evolve with studies of satisfaction, commitment, engagement, experience, well-being, and personalization. We will consider what’s next in employee work relationship with a focus on offering hope.
These are not the only issues for HR in 2024, but through our think tanks, we will offer RBL Institute members thought leadership coupled with specific actions to move ahead.
