​
Stress-Test Your HR Strategy Before the Year Tests You 

​
Chennai | 6 March 2026 

​HR is entering 2026 with a different rulebook. 

​​What counted as “best practice” even a year ago - in hiring, engagement, performance, learning, leadership alignment - is hardly relevant today. 
  
This is where the new HR playbook of the year begins.  

​​And the first 90 days of 2026 will shape how HR is judged for the rest of it. 

​​January builds the roadmap.
February sells the roadmap.
March exposes the cracks in the roadmap.

​Use March to pressure-test your February ideas
so Q1 doesn’t end with, “How did this happen?”

​
By now, HR leaders are already making decisions that will quietly shape how the rest of 2026 plays out. 

​​This event is a working session for HR leaders to: 

• ​​Understand the key HR trends shaping 2026 and what they demand in practice 

• ​​Translate evolving best practices into decisions that actually work in your context 

• ​​Identify which decisions must be made now and pressure test 2026 plans 

​​What You’ll Walk Away With: 

​​You will leave with: 

• ​​A practical HR playbook for 2026 
  Clear direction on what approaches are working now, what’s losing relevance, and what’s emerging as the new baseline. 

• ​​A clear decision map for Q2
  Knowing which HR decisions need commitment now, and which should stay intentionally open. 

• ​​A sharper way to prioritise under urgency 
  So “everything is important” doesn’t turn into “everything breaks”. 

• ​​Patterns from real HR decisions 
  What senior HR leaders locked down early and what they wish they hadn’t. 

• ​​Language to defend your calls 
  Especially when leadership wants speed, but the risk sits with HR. 

​​The goal is better judgment under pressure.

This is not a nostalgia event. This is about starting the year with a playbook you can execute and evolve. Register to save your seat.
