Key Highlights from the 2025/26 Workforce Trends Report


With survey responses from employers across Australia, we have uncovered many insightful market trends, including:

  • Sales Expectations – Fewer employers anticipate sales growth than last year (45%, down from 53%). However, nearly half expect no change, indicating a cautious outlook.
  • Remote Work Strategies are Evolving – While many organisations have implemented return-to-work mandates, the majority of employers have retained hybrid or remote options.
  • Focus on Retention – Pay rates, career development, and competition continue to drive staff turnover, making attraction and retention strategies more critical than ever.
  • AI Adoption in Hiring – As part of the survey this year, we gained valuable insights into AI implementation in organisations’ hiring processes.
