CHRO Survey 2026

Workforce transformation is no longer a future consideration. It’s a vital element of today’s business strategies, impacting ambitions as organisations transition to manage the use of advanced technologies and the skills required, diversified workforces, increased employee expectations for empowerment and choice, and stricter regulatory pressures. 

Against this background, we surveyed the priorities and perspectives of CHROs at 189 Belgian-based organisations to gain insights into what they need to navigate the swiftly changing global landscape and workforce. The results – shared with you in our CHRO Survey – focusses on 12 key areas:

• Strategic workforce planning

• HR transformation

• Data-driven HR 

• Organisation design 

• Learning and development (L&D) programmes

• Leadership transformation

• Change and culture management 

• Talent ecosystems

• Reward programmes

• Regulatory preparedness 

• Digital readiness

• The strategic positioning of HR 

For each, we share key findings, detailed analysis, and clear action points, giving practical advice and critical insights for organisations looking to optimise their workforce strategy and prepare for the future.
