About the Event
In 2026, Human Resources in the Philippines plays a more strategic role, with 58% of companies using HR analytics and over 70% aligning people strategies with ESG goals. As Gen X leaders step into top roles, they bring a more people-centric approach, emphasizing stability, empathy, and employee well-being. At the same time, younger workers are demanding flexible work, mental health support, and purpose-driven cultures. With 1 in 3 Filipino employees reporting weekly burnout, HR teams are responding with wellness programs, mental health leave, and inclusive engagement strategies. The focus has shifted from efficiency to building resilient, sustainable, and human-centered workplaces.
