Welcome to the Spring/Summer issue.
These words spoken by Professor Kevin Fong OBE, at the November CIPD Conference, set the tone for this edition. In a world that is changing faster than ever in 2026, we look at how, effectively leading people and prioritising their wellbeing in the workforce, makes sound business sense.
In our Hot Topic, we look at how financial wellbeing can be a tool for productivity and retention at work. As well as how to help your teams manage stress and burnout, we ask why, with the advances of AI and other time saving advances in technology, the modern workplace feels more pressured and less enjoyable than ever. We also examine how to make recruitment fairer and less ageist.

The feature, Developing Green Skills reminds us how important it is to continue our transition to green energy and how geopolitical events are influencing this agenda.
We continue to put people at the heart of our content coverage as we explore the impact of AI across global mobility, education and leadership in the next issue.
