HR careers aren’t disappearing, but they are evolving faster than most people realize. While the pressure on HR professionals is not new, the speed of change is.

  • AI is accelerating how work gets done
  • Roles are shifting in real time
  • And the expectations of HR are increasing across every level of the function

This question is not whether HR will remain relevant, but whether your current skills are future-proof.

More than ever, your career depends on how well you understand what is changing and how quickly you respond to it.

On Tuesday, May 21st 2026, we’ll share what the data actually says about HR careers today.

Dr. Dieter Veldsman and Dr. Marna van der Merwe will walk through insights from large-scale job market and skills data to unpack:

  • The three main shifts reshaping HR roles and careers
  • What demand, supply, and salary patterns look like across 54 HR roles
  • How AI is changing day-to-day HR work
  • Which skills employers are actively hiring for right now
  • Six practical career moves based on real market data
  • A simple process to continuously manage and future-proof your career

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clear understanding of where your role sits in the current HR market
  • A practical way to assess how your work is evolving
  • Visibility into the skills that matter most for your next step
  • Actionable steps you can start applying immediately
