    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.

    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.

    Rethinking Workforce Identity: Closing the Gaps Across the Employee Lifecycle

    The identity threat landscape has shifted dramatically in the last twelve months. Deepfake candidates, AI-driven impersonation, synthetic identities and help desk social engineering have moved from theoretical risk to operational reality, and the gaps they are exploiting run across HR, IT and security in ways that no single team owns or fully sees.

    Global Payroll Without the Guesswork

    Running payroll in one country is hard enough. Across ten countries, with different tax rules, deadlines, compliance requirements and employment laws, it becomes a fundamentally different challenge. Most organisations reach a point where the complexity of managing global payroll in-house starts to outpace the capacity of even the most capable teams, and the cost of getting it wrong is significant.

    Workforce Identity Verification in the Age of AI and High-Stakes Access

    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 where traditional verification falls shortest. The question is no longer whether to strengthen identity assurance across the workforce, but how to do it without creating friction that employees and IT teams route around.

    EOR Demystified: When It's the Right Call and When It Isn't

    Hiring internationally without setting up a local entity sounds like the obvious solution, until you are actually in it. Employer of Record has become the go-to route for organisations looking to move quickly across borders, but the reality of how it works, where it excels and when it starts to create more problems than it solves is rarely discussed openly.

  • October 6 6:30-9:30 PM MST

    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?

    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.
