The future of work won’t simply be shaped by technology.
It will be shaped by the decisions leaders make today!

On 1 July 2026, Top Employers Institute in collaboration with , will bring together a select group of HR Directors, CHROs, Heads of HR, and People Leaders for the People Summit South Africa 2026.

Together we will explore:
💡 Where should AI lead, and where should humans lead?
💡 Can organisations scale technology without eroding trust and culture?
💡 What does leadership look like in an age of autonomous systems?
💡 How do we build intentional organisations that remain human at their core?
Human by Design: Navigating Agentic AI Without Losing the Human Touch

This is an invite-only event with limited capacity, designed to facilitate meaningful peer-to-peer discussions and practical insights from leading organisations.

Agentic Al is here. To succeed, HR leaders need a clear adoption framework.
Seen as a system, not a tool, agentic Al needs only limited supervision to achieve its tasks with human-like problem-solving capabilities.
But technology like this will change the structure of work itself...
Evidence suggests Al agents can behave unpredictably, so businesses need to adapt, with a clear framework for the modern world of work.
We’ve set out what that might look like.

A big thank you to the HR leaders, Top Employers and organisations who contributed their expertise and experiences to our latest research report: Designing work for the age of agentic Al.
One thing became very clear throughout this research: the real challenge is no longer Al adoption alone, but how organisations redesign work, workflows and decision-making around intelligent systems.
We’re especially grateful to our clients featured in the report, including Vodacom, Yum China and NLB Komercijalna banka, part of NLB Group for sharing practical examples of how they are approaching this next phase of Al transformation.
The report explores three areas organisations will need to rethink as agentic Al becomes embedded into work:
• Building trust, clarity and human confidence
• Rethinking roles, rewards and workforce planning for Al-enabled teams
• Turning ethical Al foundations into a source of competitive advantage
Your openness and insights helped make this report more practical and relevant for HR leaders navigating the future of work.

How important is purpose to profitability?
Our research found that organisations with high revenue growth are 8% more likely to embed purpose into everyday action. While those with high profitability are 9% more likely.
The link between purpose and commercial outcomes is clear, and the way to achieve this is by having an intentional organisation.

How is purpose reshaping your business?

joined Top Employers Institute on May 1st, 2021… 5 years ago already - where did the time go? 🎉
And what a journey it’s been!
Your commitment, drive, and focus on making a real impact truly stand out. You’re not only doing an amazing job in your region, but you’re also a valued part of the wider team.
Thank you for all the energy, passion, and dedication you bring to managing regional marketing for South Africa - it really makes a difference.

I also loved what Nathier shared about you:
“Nazia is a formidable colleague, support, and team player for the African hub. We’ve seen some steep hurdles and major undertakings in the form of the largest annual CC event, yet Naz has taken this in her stride and excelled. In the time that I’ve worked alongside Naz, she’s grown in leaps and bounds and does not shy away from a challenge – she welcomes it!”

Couldn’t agree more!

Huge congratulations on this milestone! Here’s to everything you’ve achieved so far and to many more successes ahead.

Thanks for everything you do, Nazia Osman!

HR budgets are shrinking. Expectations aren’t!

65% of HR leaders have not increased their 2025 budgets… a sharp decline from previous years.

This year, performance won’t come from doing more. It will be driven by intentional choices.

Explore what this shift means for HR leaders, and why intention is replacing acceleration as the defining leadership capability.

When women thrive, organisations thrive. ⭐

Yet globally, women represent 43.4% of the workforce while holding only 30.6% of leadership roles. The opportunity to close this gap remains significant.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, , highlights a powerful principle.

When organisations actively invest in women—through mentorship, sponsorship, visibility, and access to opportunity—the impact extends far beyond individuals. It strengthens teams, leadership pipelines, and long-term business performance.

Creating environments where women can thrive is not only a matter of equity; it is a strategic imperative for organisations shaping the future of work.

A special thank you to the Gender Leads of our DEI Employee Resource Group, Carolina Botelho, SPHRi™ and Adelene Moodley, for developing a thoughtful resource to help us reflect on how we can support and empower women every day.

How is your organisation empowering the women in your workplace to grow and lead?

What an extraordinary evening celebrating the organisations shaping the future of work across Africa.

This year, 312 organisations were certified across 36 markets and 26 industries - each one demonstrating an unwavering commitment to putting people first.

Last night in Johannesburg, more than 1,100 leaders and HR pioneers gathered to recognise the standards they’ve set, the cultures they’ve built, and the impact they continue to make. The energy in the room was a powerful reminder: excellence in people practices is not accidental… it is intentional.

To every Top Employer certified in 2026 — thank you for raising the bar and driving a better world of work.

Congratulations on this well-earned recognition. 🌟
