HR Data Essentials: critical risks for businesses in 2026
Speakers
Do you know how to answer the key HR Data challenges facing your business?
In a challenging economic climate, employers face mounting pressure to leverage employee data whilst also juggling complex regulatory obligations and maintaining employee trust.
Privacy compliance remains a key concern for the daily functions of HR, Human Capital and Talent teams, and the mounting pile of laws of wider data-driven laws like pay transparency and AI regulation only add to the challenge of the in-house HR or privacy professional. Despite the EU’s upcoming simplification under the Digital Omnibus, there is little proposed to relieve the regulatory burden on employers.
Need some guidance? Want to hear what others in the market are doing and what novel challenges are coming round the corner? Join us for our annual online event on Wednesday 4 February 2026 where Bird & Bird’s experts across our award-winning International Privacy & Data Protection and Employment teams will unpack the latest HR Data developments across the globe including tricky issues such as AI integration, background checks strategies and the looming EU-driven pay transparency laws. A full agenda with speakers will follow closer to the event date.
Our HR Data events are principally aimed at HR, privacy and legal teams, but these sessions will be of interest to anyone with responsibility for people and data issues in their organisation.
