The world of work is transforming at pace, shaped by rapid advances in artificial intelligence and shifting employee expectations. For payroll and reward leaders, this evolution presents both challenge and opportunity. This interactive session explores how reward professionals can influence and support a more human-centred future of work.

Together, we will examine:

• AI and the workplace of tomorrow – the opportunities and risks technology brings, and how payroll and reward can help organisations harness AI responsibly.
• Hiring for human capability – why empathy, creativity, adaptability, and collaboration will matter more than technical skills in the future economy, and how reward structures can encourage and recognise these strengths.

By the end of this session, participants will feel empowered to re-frame their role not only as custodians of pay and benefits, but as strategic architects of a more inclusive, resilient, and human-centred world of work.
