Human Capital Insights 2025

The Time for Better People Decisions is Now.

Event Details

Today’s global business landscape is changing rapidly, driven by shifting workforce expectations, market volatility, technological innovation, and new regulatory demands; all changes that are reshaping human capital strategies. For organisations to succeed, investing in people—their potential, aspirations, and resilience—is more critical than ever and forms the foundation for sustainable growth. However, as cost pressures mount and employee expectations evolve, business leaders are rethinking how they invest in their people.

Aon’s Human Capital Insights Virtual Conference 2025 is taking place on the mornings of November 12-13, 2025. The conference will connect virtual attendees with regional subject matter experts, industry thought leaders and senior decision-makers to discuss the human capital issues that are impacting our business world, giving you the enhanced clarity and confidence to make Better People Decisions.

The agenda is action-packed with keynotes and interactive discussions focusing on topics, such as Future Proofing your People Strategy, Total Rewards, Employee Experience, Personalisation and AI, Pay Transparency, Managing Rising Costs and Governance and Retirement.

We will also discuss the evolving HR Trends and challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2026.

What you will get out of the conference:
  • Forward-looking perspectives on HR trends shaping the future of work and total rewards.
  • As multi-generational workforces and delayed retirements create complex challenges in benefits design, succession planning and career development; we’ll share practical strategies for building adaptable and growth-ready workforces.
  • Provide HR leaders with a clear understanding of current employee sentiment, strategic challenges and actionable approaches to align total rewards with business outcomes.
  • Real-world examples from peers navigating similar challenges in a changing global landscape.
  • Opportunities to connect during interactive Q&A sessions.
