HR Tech 2025

How disruptive tech can power performance & improve engagement

3rd April 2025 | 110 Rochester Row | London

Forward-thinking HR teams must embrace technological change, turning the challenges of disruption into opportunities to maximise people performance and drive business success.

How are you staying future-ready and people-focused?

The pace of technological change is not slowing, with AI, remote collaboration, and a more interconnected global workforce than ever before throwing up new challenges for HR teams every day.

HR Grapevine Meet Up: HR Technology 2025 is an opportunity to join a select group of senior HR leaders and industry experts face-to-face to discuss different aspects of tech-enabled change and how it impacts your people – whether they are office-based or on the front-line – as well as your business.

This in-person event will give you the chance to hear from thought-leaders, meet with peers and share knowledge as you formulate your own unique answers to practical and strategic challenges across a full day of five insightful sessions with plenty of networking opportunities.

To ensure all attendees get the very best from this event, we only have a limited number of spaces available for senior corporate HR leaders.

    10:00am BST - Session 1
    Employee engagement, stress and workplace monitoring
    Presented by ADP

    At 21%, the UK’s share of fully engaged employees has reached a record high, up from 14% a decade ago. Yet more than half of employees feel ‘rattled’ by stress, concerns about workplace surveillance, and one in three say their manager is monitoring them more than ever before. Are UK businesses fostering a productive and supportive work environment?

    Join our panel of experts for an engaging discussion as they delve into the insights from ADP Research's latest study, ‘People at Work 2025: A Global Workforce View’. The con-versation will cover a variety of topics, including:

    • Why hybrid workers are significantly more engaged than their on-site and remote counterparts

    • The rise of workplace stress and why ‘bad stress’ is equally common across all demographics

    • How employees feel about workplace monitoring and why younger workers in particular feel more affected

    • What businesses can do to strike the right balance between performance, well-being and trust in an era of increased scrutiny

    AI and the Future of HR: People, Productivity, and Potential | Balancing Technology with the Human Touch
    Presented by G-P

    With the majority of global executives expanding AI initiatives and most acknowledging its critical role in success, the future of HR is increasingly driven by technology. Many companies are actively leveraging AI to drive innovation, yet the challenge remains: how do we balance efficiency with empathy?

    This session with G-P will explore how AI is transforming HR - from streamlining recruitment and boosting productivity to redefining employee engagement and talent management.

    We’ll cover:

    • How AI is reshaping talent acquisition, employee experience, and workforce planning

    • The role of AI in compliance, marketing, and risk management

    • Ethical considerations and potential risks of AI in HR

    • Strategies to ensure AI complements, rather than replaces, the human element in HR

    Join us for an engaging discussion on navigating the future of HR with AI - while keeping people at the centre.

    HR Transformation in Action: Laying the Foundations for Disruptive Tech Success
    Presented by Strada Global

    As HR enters the next phase of disruptive technology, the true challenge isn’t just adopting AI, automation, and analytics—it’s ensuring the right foundations are in place to fully leverage their potential. Without solid foundations in HR operations, and consistency across global regions, the promise of innovation remains out of reach.

    This expert-led panel debate will focus on how HR leaders can build a strong, integrated foundation across the entire employee lifecycle—from talent management and workforce planning to payroll and beyond. We’ll examine how getting these fundamentals right enables HR to move beyond siloed reporting, delivering data-driven insights that shape business strategy, not just HR decisions.

    Join us for a thought-provoking, question-led discussion that blends strategic vision with practical steps. Walk away with a clear roadmap for strengthening your HCM core—so your organisation can truly benefit from the next wave of disruptive technology in 2025 and beyond.

    Above the noise: How to sustain momentum with DEI in 2025
    Presented by HiBob

    Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are facing increasing scrutiny, with major companies like Meta and Google scaling back their programs due to political and legal shifts. Amidst the noise, the challenge for business leaders is clear: how can organisations sustain momentum and commitment to DEI in this evolving landscape?

    This session with HiBob will explore:

    • Strategies to maintain investment, buy-in, and long-term support for DEI, emphasising the importance of a data-driven approach to secure leadership alignment

    • The power of listening to employees and effective communication on DEI efforts

    • How to protect investment over time to avoid knee-jerk decisions
