Workforce policy is moving fast, and HR professionals can't afford to watch from the sidelines. Across the U.S. and around the world, employers, policymakers, and education and workforce leaders are grappling with many of the same questions: How do we close persistent skills gaps?

The Age of Unretirement: How Employers Can Manage Generational Shifts
Editor's note: Posts published on From the Workplace are written by outside contributors and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of SHRM.

More than a third of U.S. companies (36%) said they gave out standard, across-the-board pay increases this year, after 44% said in early 2026 that they were considering it, according to data from Seattle-based compensation firm Payscale.
The Jobs Report Won't Tell Leaders What They Need to Know
The First Draft Becomes the Verdict On October 1st, at 8:30 Eastern, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the September jobs report. Economists will argue, markets will move and enormous confidence will gather around what is, by design, a first draft (and oftentimes a bad one). BLS calls the initial payroll estimate preliminary and revises it twice as additional data become available. Revisions are not an occasional correction to the process; they are the process.
Clean Data Is Critical to AI-Powered HR
As HR organizations increasingly rely on artificial intelligence, predictive models, and people analytics to guide workforce decisions, the quality of the underlying data is paramount. Every AI tool, predictive model, and people analytics dashboard is dependent on the information feeding it. If employee data is incomplete, inconsistent, outdated, or duplicated, even sophisticated technology can produce misleading conclusions.
