The Future Workplace Forum
Getting Ahead of the Curve: HR Enabling New Opportunities
Friday 14 November, 2025, 8.00am - 5.00pm
As New Zealand’s economy begins its gradual recovery in 2025, HR professionals are uniquely positioned to help organisations navigate both challenges and opportunities. While labour market conditions remain soft, they are expected to improve as economic growth gains momentum throughout 2025 and into 2026.
HR has long been at the forefront of managing disruption, whether responding to COVID, economic downturns, or climate events. But beyond crisis management, HR also plays a critical role in enabling organisations to seize new opportunities and drive sustainable growth.
“The Future Workplaces Forum 2025 is where Aotearoa’s HR leaders come together to shape what’s next. This year’s event goes beyond theory — diving into real-world examples of AI in HR, age-diverse talent strategy, and Māori-led leadership. With top speakers, bold conversations, and a sharp focus on what’s actually working, this is the Forum where HR takes the lead in driving growth, innovation, and purpose-led change to get ahead of the curve.”
