The Real Playbook for Hiring People Anywhere
Global hiring through EOR has become the default route for organisations moving fast across borders, but the honest conversations about what actually works, what creates problems down the line, and how to know when to move beyond it rarely happen in public. Most organisations are figuring it out as they go, and the lessons tend to stay inside the team that lived them.

Securing the Agentic Enterprise with a Unified Identity Fabric
This moderated executive dinner discussion will focus on how to establish a resilient, unified identity fabric in the age of the Agentic Enterprise. While autonomous AI agents and automated service accounts drive unprecedented business velocity, their rapid deployment has exponentially expanded the machine-scale attack surface. For modern IT and security leaders, this presents a critical mandate: how do you manage machine identity lifecycles and secure a digital workspace where non-human identities (NHIs) now greatly outnumber humans?

EOR vs Entity: Making the Right Call as You Grow
For growing organisations, the decision between Employer of Record and opening your own entity is rarely straightforward. The factors that look most important at the outset are not always the ones that matter most once you are living with the consequences, and the threshold at which one model stops making sense and the other becomes the obvious answer looks different for every business. Most organisations arrive at their current setup through a combination of deliberate decisions and practical necessity, and few would design it exactly the same way with the benefit of hindsight.

Redefining People Operations: Automation, Empowerment & Insight at Scale
HR leaders are under more pressure than ever to deliver more with less. Manual processes are eating into time that should be spent on strategy, employee expectations are rising, and the data needed to make confident decisions is often scattered across systems that were never designed to talk to each other. The organisations pulling ahead are the ones treating People Operations as a strategic function rather than an administrative one.

Global Hiring, Unfiltered: What Nobody Tells You Before You Start
Most conversations about global hiring focus on the theory. The compliance frameworks, the entity versus EOR debate, the cost models. What gets talked about far less openly is what actually happens when you are in it. The surprises, the internal friction, the decisions that looked straightforward until they were not, and the things leadership consistently underestimates until they become someone else's problem to solve.

How Fast Can You Really Hire Globally?
Finding the right person is hard enough. When that person happens to be in a country you have never hired in before, the business wants to move fast and the people responsible for making it happen legally and operationally have to find a way to keep up. The tension between speed and compliance in international hiring is real, and most organisations are navigating it without a clear playbook.

Beyond Reactive: Rethinking Workforce Health and Sickness Absence for the Long Term
Sickness absence and workforce health have never been under more scrutiny. Financial pressures are keeping most organisations in reactive mode, existing support systems are leaving employees underserved, and the wellbeing challenges facing transport and leisure workforces in particular are growing faster than most programmes were built to handle. The question is no longer whether to invest in a better approach, but what a genuinely effective and sustainable model actually looks like in practice.

Past Highlights
Securing High-Risk Identity Moments Across the Workforce Lifecycle
Workforce identity has never been under more pressure. Employees are accessing more sensitive systems than ever, AI agents are acting on their behalf, and the moments of highest risk, from high-privilege actions to account recovery and onboarding, are exactly the moments where traditional verification falls short. The question is no longer whether to strengthen identity assurance across the workforce, but how to do it in a way that does not create friction that employees and IT teams route around.
Leading AI Transformation: Executive Perspectives on Innovation, Governance, and Risk
Every organization is somewhere on the AI journey, but very few are where they expected to be by now. The gap between executive ambition and operational reality is widening, the metrics that made sense at pilot stage are no longer sufficient, and the risks that seemed manageable at small scale are taking on a different character as AI embeds itself deeper across the business.
