The biggest workforce risk in 2026? Reacting instead of Designing

On April 1st, CCI FRANCE CHINE hosted an exclusive session with Qi Zhang, Regional Head – North Asia at Top Employers Institute, focused on the workforce trends shaping the shift to the Intentional Organisation.

As leaders navigate sustained uncertainty, accelerating technology, and growing pressures on organisational capacity, this session highlighted that the organisations continuing to perform are those making deliberate choices about purpose, technology, flexibility, productivity, and stability.

Agenda:

• Identifying workforce trends that create the biggest strategic risks and opportunities
• Understanding where organisations lose value through reactive decisions
• Sharper perspectives to guide investment and prioritisation for 2026 and beyond

The session provided practical insights for HR and business leaders on designing intentional, future-ready workplaces that integrate skills, leadership, inclusion, and sustainable workforce practices.

We warmly thank Qi Zhang for sharing his expertise and all participants for their active engagement.
