5 HR Decisions You Will Thank Yourself for Making Before 2027
December has a way of turning HR into a game of “what can we possibly get done before the year ends?” But not every decision can—or should—wait until New Year's Eve.
Before budgets freeze, renewals roll around, and managers start asking what’s changing in 2027, there are a few decisions worth getting ahead of now. In this practical session with Lori Kleiman, we’ll tackle five areas where a little planning today can save HR a lot of scrambling later—from policies and HR technology to compensation, staffing needs, and the work HR should stop doing altogether.
You’ll walk away with a simple five-decision action plan to help you figure out what needs attention, who needs to be involved, and what needs to happen before the calendar flips to 2027.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
Identify policies, HR technology, and compliance considerations that should be addressed before January 1.
Evaluate upcoming compensation, staffing, and workforce needs to inform 2027 planning and budgeting.
Determine which HR processes and responsibilities can be simplified, automated, delegated, or eliminated.
Prioritize five key HR decisions and create a timeline for taking action before the start of 2027.
