McLean & Company’s recently released HR Trends Report 2026 highlights a significant challenge facing leadership teams, and points to larger trends shaping the way people work and live. According to the report, leadership teams across industries are struggling to keep pace with the rapidly changing world, resulting in significant gaps between leaders, employee expectations, and emerging technology.

Citing issues like cultural alignment, staff retention, rising AI implementation, labor costs, and beyond, the HR Trends Report 2026 advises leaders to focus heavily on leadership development as a cultural driver, as well as seeking ways to create positive employee experiences as a component of retention and recruitment. Rather than chasing growth alone, organizations of all kinds will need to build internal resilience and make human-centric decisions to maintain an advantage in the years to come.
