Compliance Outlook for 2026

Join us for a forward-thinking webinar exploring how systems design thinking can revolutionise HR and compliance for Australian businesses in 2026. Discover strategic frameworks that align employee experience with legal compliance, and how to embed ethical governance into everyday operations. We’ll examine the evolving regulatory landscape, showcase digital tools that streamline compliance, and highlight design principles that foster a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace culture. Whether you’re an HR leader, executive, or compliance officer, this session provides practical insights to future-proof your workforce and develop reliable, human-centred systems that meet business objectives and regulatory requirements.

Webinar Includes:

• Landscape: Map external impacts on your HR and compliance program, including regulatory compliance, tech trends, social expectations and economic conditions.
• Review: Audit systems and touch points, including the platforms your employees use to interact with HR, how compliance processes integrate with day-to-day operations, and what feedback loops you have in place (or need to invest in) to ensure clearer communications.
• Stakeholders: How to identify stakeholder needs, including employees, line managers, HR, executives, shareholders, and regulators.
• Behaviours: How do we encourage transparency, ethical hiring, proactive reporting, and, at the same time, prevent workplace incidents such as those related to safety, privacy, and fair work, while embedding nudge systems for training, policy development, and incident reporting?
