H-1B 进入“工资权重”时代:高薪岗位中签概率将被系统性放大2025年12月23日,美国国土安全部(DHS)与美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)在官网新闻稿中确认,H-1B名额选择机制将迎来重大调整:未来当注册人数超过年度上限时,传统“纯随机抽签”将被“加权选择(weighted selection)”取代。USCIS表示,过去的随机抽签曾被部分雇主滥用,通过大量低薪岗位注册“冲池”,导致低技能、低工资外籍劳工更容易中签,从而损害美国本土劳工的工资、工作条件与就业机会。新规旨在提高更高技能、更高薪酬申请人的获选概率,以更符合国会对H-1B项目的初衷,并强化美国竞争力。以下是AI综合各个官方文件的清晰解读,供参考
一、官方确认了什么?2025 年 12 月 23 日,USCIS 在官网发布新闻稿确认:美国国土安全部(DHS)将修订 H-1B 名额选择规则,用“加权选择(weighted selection)”替代传统的“随机抽签(random lottery)”,以更优先分配给“更高技能、更高薪酬”的申请人,目标是更好地保护美国本土劳工的工资、工作条件与就业机会。USCIS
与新闻稿配套的 Final Rule(最终规则) 已以 Public Inspection 形式发布,文件明确该规则将于 2026 年 2 月 27 日生效,并用于 FY 2027(2027 财年)H-1B cap 注册季。Federal Register Public Inspection+1
二、最关键变化:不是“取消抽签”,而是“抽签概率倾斜”这次改革的重点不在于取消抽签,而在于:当注册人数超过名额上限、必须进行选择时,USCIS 不再让所有注册“同等概率随机”,而是根据工资水平给予不同权重,使高工资岗位获得更高被选中的概率。USCIS 在官方说明中强调,该机制会“总体上更偏向(generally favor)更高技能、更高薪酬的申请人”,同时“仍保留所有工资等级参与的机会”。USCIS+1
三、加权依据是什么?与 DOL 的 OEWS 工资等级挂钩Final Rule 的核心逻辑,是把“工资”作为技能与岗位价值的可量化代理指标(政策语言为优先高技能、高薪酬)。你的中文稿中提到的“四级工资(Level I–IV)”框架,来自美国劳工部的职业工资统计体系(OEWS)对应的 prevailing wage 分层概念;在 USCIS 的 H-1B 注册流程官方页面中,也明确提到该 Final Rule 将实施“weighted selection”并以更高工资/技能为倾向。USCIS
(注:权重如何具体落在 Level I=1、Level II=2、Level III=3、Level IV=4 的执行细则,应以 Final Rule 的条文与 USCIS 后续系统实施说明为准。你现在持有的 2025-23853 PDF 正是用于核对这一点的“法律文本本体”。Federal Register Public Inspection+1)
四、哪些“不变”?这点对雇主和 HR 很重要从官方文件表述看,本次改革有几项关键“保持不变”的部分:
1)年度名额结构不变仍然维持 65,000 个常规名额 + 20,000 个美国高学历(advanced degree)名额。USCIS+1
2)仍然是注册阶段的选择机制调整官方表述将这次改革定位为“选择过程(selection process)”的修订。也就是说,它改变的是“谁更容易在注册阶段被选中”,并不等于“被选中就一定获批”。USCIS+1
3)实质审查与合规要求并未被取消Final Rule 与 USCIS 页面均指向:H-1B 后续仍要满足所有既有法规与合规要求(如职位专业性、薪资合规、LCA 等)。换句话说,加权机制只是改变“入场顺序”,不替代后续的合规与真实性审核。USCIS+1
五、潜在影响:谁受益、谁承压?基于规则设计本身(以工资分层作为权重),其影响方向相对清晰:
更可能受益的群体高薪资、资深或紧缺岗位(更容易落在更高工资分位/更高 Level),以及更有能力支付市场高位薪酬的大型雇主。这与官方“优先高技能、高薪酬”的政策目标一致。USCIS+1
更可能承压的群体初创公司、中小企业(预算约束更强),以及入门级岗位或薪资更接近 Level I/II 的候选人。虽然官方强调“各工资等级仍有机会”,但在概率权重机制下,实际中签率结构很可能出现倾斜。USCIS+1
六、对 HR / 雇主的现实建议:把 H-1B 从“运气”变成“可控变量”在加权抽签框架下,HR 和雇主在注册前的准备会更“策略化”:
1)岗位定级与薪资策略需要提前做同一岗位在不同地区、不同薪资定位可能对应不同工资分位/Level。提前对标市场薪酬并合理定薪,将直接影响进入抽签池的“权重”。(具体定级方法与合规口径建议与移民律师/合规顾问确认。)
2)招聘规划要前置到注册窗口之前过去很多公司把抽签视为随机事件;未来应把岗位级别、薪资结构与人才引进路径更早纳入年度 workforce planning。
3)合规底线不会降低,反而更容易被放大审视政策目标本身强调保护美国劳工与防止滥用,因此雇主在职位真实性、工作内容专业性、薪资合理性、LCA 流程等方面的合规管理更关键。USCIS+1
七、时间线:你需要核实的三个关键日期
2025/12/23:USCIS 官网发布新闻稿确认规则方向与政策目标。USCIS
2025/12/29:Final Rule 以 Public Inspection 形式显示“计划刊登于 Federal Register”的发布日期信息。Federal Register Public Inspection+1
2026/02/27:Final Rule 生效日期;用于 FY 2027 H-1B cap 注册季。USCIS+1
免责声明本文基于 DHS/USCIS 官方公开信息与联邦公报相关文件进行整理解读,旨在提供一般性信息参考,不构成法律意见或移民申请建议。H-1B 相关政策适用高度依赖具体事实与个案情况(包括但不限于岗位职责、薪资结构、工作地点、雇主资质、合规流程等),不同情形可能产生不同结论。建议雇主与申请人就具体问题咨询各自的移民律师或专业合规顾问,以获取针对自身情况的准确建议。

DHS Changes Process for Awarding H-1B Work Visas to Better Protect American Workers
Release Date
12/23/2025
WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security is amending regulations governing the H-1B work visa selection process to prioritize the allocation of visas to higher-skilled and higher-paid aliens to better protect the wages, working conditions, and job opportunities for American workers. The new rule replaces the random lottery for selecting visa recipients with a process that gives greater weight to those with higher skills.
“The existing random selection process of H-1B registrations was exploited and abused by U.S. employers who were primarily seeking to import foreign workers at lower wages than they would pay American workers,” said U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Matthew Tragesser. “The new weighted selection will better serve Congress’ intent for the H-1B program and strengthen America’s competitiveness by incentivizing American employers to petition for higher-paid, higher-skilled foreign workers. With these regulatory changes and others in the future, we will continue to update the H-1B program to help American businesses without allowing the abuse that was harming American workers.”
The number of H-1B visas issued annually is limited to 65,000, with an additional 20,000 for U.S. advanced degree holders. The current random selection process has often been criticized for allowing unscrupulous employers to exploit it by flooding the selection pool with lower-skilled foreign workers paid at low wages, to the detriment of the American workforce. To address these concerns, the final rule will implement a weighted selection process that will increase the probability that H-1B visas are allocated to higher-skilled and higher-paid aliens while maintaining the opportunity for employers to secure H-1B workers at all wage levels. This final rule is effective Feb. 27, 2026, and will be in place for the FY 2027 H-1B cap registration season.
The rule is another crucial step to strengthen the integrity of the H-1B nonimmigrant visa program. It is in line with other key changes the administration has made, such as the Presidential Proclamation that requires employers to pay an additional $100,000 per visa as a condition of eligibility.
“As part of the Trump Administration’s commitment to H-1B reform, we will continue to demand more from both employers and aliens so as not to undercut American workers and to put America first,” said Tragesser.

12 Opportunities for HR in 2026: Building Organisations That Thrive in the Agentic AgeThe best way to predict the future is to create it (Peter Drucker).
If 2024 and 2025 were years of experimentation with generative and agentic AI, 2026 is the year organisations must scale. CEOs now expect measurable productivity improvements, while CFOs demand disciplined value creation. Yet many organisations remain stuck in pilot mode - not because the technology is immature, but because their operating models, skills and structures cannot absorb AI at scale.
Two-thirds of CEOs say their competitive differentiation depends on having the right expertise in the right roles, supported by reskilling, selective hiring, AI agents and strategic partnerships - the “build, buy, bot, borrow” model. Workforce strategy has become a CEO-level concern.
Introduction: HR’s R&D Moment
In the AI future, HR becomes your R&D department (Ethan Mollick)
For HR, the implications are profound. As Ethan Mollick notes, “In the AI future, HR becomes your R&D department”. HR now sits at the intersection of work redesign, skills strategy, leadership capability, organisational health and AI governance. The choices HR makes in 2026 will determine whether organisations unlock agentic productivity - or continue to experiment with little or no impact.
During the 10+ years I’ve been publishing this annual look at the year ahead, it has evolved from predictions to opportunities, because the forces shaping work now unfold over multiple years – and as Niels Bohr wryly observed:
“Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future!” (Niels Bohr)
As ever, the 2026 opportunities are informed by Insight222 research, conversations with CHROs and people analytics leaders, Digital HR Leaders podcast interviews, and extensive academic and market analysis.
What follows are 10 opportunities for HR to lead with clarity, evidence, purpose and humanity in the agentic age. As in past years, I will again crowdsource two additional opportunities from readers, so please add your ideas in the comments below. An extensive list of references and further reading are also provided at the end of the article.
"When HR is fully engaged, AI adoption accelerates" (Bain, You Can't Spell AI without HR)
THE 12 OPPORTUNITIES FOR HR IN 2026
FIG 1: 12 Opportunities for HR in 2026 - as envisaged by NotebookLM (Source: David Green)
#1. Redesign Work for a Human-AI Operating System
“Agentic AI is already changing the nature of tasks, workflows, and roles — and organisations must redesign work to fully capture the benefits.” (McKinsey, The State of AI in 2025)
Organisations are beginning to move beyond experimentation and rethinking how work is structured. HR should now take the lead in designing the operating system that orchestrates humans and AI agents: clarifying tasks, workflows, decision rights, escalation points and where humans add unique value.
The question is no longer “What can we automate?” but “What is the optimal blend of humans and agents to deliver what we need?” That means starting from outcomes, decomposing work into tasks, and then deciding which should be human-led, AI-augmented or agent-delivered.
A coherent operating system requires clear governance: transparency, ethical boundaries, decision thresholds, and norms for human oversight. With CEOs pushing for productivity and CFOs demanding cost discipline, HR has the opportunity to become the architect of safe, scalable, value-creating AI-enabled work. Organisations that get this right will accelerate productivity, decision quality and speed of execution; those that don’t risk remaining confined to pilot purgatory.
“The future of work will be shaped not by replacing humans, but by redesigning systems to optimise the partnership between people and technology.” (Oliver Wyman Forum, How Generative AI is Changing the Future of Work)
"When you redesign work around human strengths, AI becomes a multiplier, not a threat. The shift is from doing tasks to orchestrating outcomes." (Loren Shuster, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)

#2. Elevate Strategic Workforce Planning into a Core Enterprise Discipline
“Strategic workforce planning is now a CEO-level priority.” (McKinsey, Workforce Planning in the Age of AI)
Strategic workforce planning (SWP) has been elevated from an HR process to a C-suite priority. CEOs now see talent, skills, automation and cost decisions as central to enterprise performance. Consequently, HR must transform SWP into a dynamic system connecting strategy, skills, cost and organisational design. This involves scenario modelling, internal mobility mapping, talent flow analysis and productivity forecasting- not traditional headcount planning.
The “build, buy, bot, borrow” portfolio CEOs expect HR to manage demands continuous decision-making, not annual cycles. In an agentic environment, demand for skills shifts constantly, and SWP becomes the mechanism that helps leaders decide: When to reskill. When to hire. When to deploy agents. When to partner
Done well, SWP becomes one of the CEO’s sharpest tools for competitiveness, enabling faster reallocation of talent, clearer trade-offs and more confident long-term investment.
"The companies that get ahead build workforce planning into the business rhythm, not as an annual HR exercise but as a strategic capability." (Diane Gherson, Digital HR Leaders Podcast episode)

3. Build a Dynamic Skills and Capability Ecosystem
“Skills have become the currency of work — and organisations must create systems where people can move fluidly to opportunities.” (World Economic Forum, Global Skills Taxonomy Toolkit)
Static job architectures cannot keep up with the speed of work. HR must build a dynamic skills ecosystem that continuously identifies, updates and deploys skills. AI-driven inference can surface emerging capabilities in real time, replacing outdated self-reporting and static competency models.
This ecosystem supports transparent internal mobility, talent marketplaces, AI-enabled learning and capability building aligned to business priorities, not generic training. Employability shifts toward adaptability, breadth, and the ability to collaborate effectively with AI.
Skills ecosystems reduce external hiring, increase internal mobility and enable transformation at scale. In 2026, skills can become the operating layer of the enterprise, connecting strategy, workforce decisions and learning in one adaptive system.
“High-performing companies are shifting from jobs to skills, and from hierarchy to capability ecosystems that evolve as fast as the business.” (BCG, AI at Work 2025)
"The real reason to become a skills-based organisation is business agility. As strategy shifts and technology evolves, you have to continually understand who you have relative to the work that needs to get done." (Sandra Loughlin, Digital HR Leaders Podcast episode)
FIG 4: Core skills in 2030 (Source: World Economic Forum)
4. Reshape Leadership for the Agentic Age
“As AI changes how work happens, leadership must evolve.” (BCG, As AI Changes Work, CEOs Must Change How Work Happens)
Leadership models built for supervision, expertise and control are no longer fit for a world where agentic AI executes tasks, synthesises information and accelerates decision cycles. In the agentic age, the leader’s job shifts from managing work to orchestrating systems - framing problems, setting direction, governing risk and enabling people and agents to operate together productively.
The research appears to be unequivocal: organisations will only capture the value of AI if leaders develop new muscles- judgement, systems thinking, ethical reasoning, rapid learning, transparency and the ability to steward change at speed. Leaders must become designers of workflows, not reviewers of work; enablers of experimentation, not gatekeepers; role models for adaptability, not certainty.
Psychological safety becomes even more important. As Amy Edmondson notes, people need to feel safe challenging both leaders and AI outputs. Leaders who create clarity, connection and trust see far higher adoption of agentic tools. Insight222 research highlights that the most effective leaders use data and evidence to guide decisions, while staying deeply human in how they communicate and build culture.
Perhaps most importantly, leaders must unlearn. As Katarina Berg puts it, almost everything about how we lead “is being rewritten” - and clinging to legacy behaviours slows the organisation.
The leaders who thrive will be those who embrace humility, curiosity and the mindset of a system architect - guiding people and AI to create outcomes neither could achieve alone.
"Psychological safety extends to AI. People must feel safe to question outputs and raise concerns." (Amy Edmondson, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
“Leaders have to get comfortable unlearning…we can’t cling to practices that no longer help people thrive.” (Katarina Berg, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
5. Strengthen Organisational Health, Fairness & Inclusion to Unlock Sustainable Performance
“Improving worker wellbeing is a powerful mechanism to raise productivity — potentially by 10–15%.” (McKinsey Health Institute and World Economic Forum, Thriving workplaces: How employers can improve productivity and change lives)
Organisational health, fairness and inclusion are now fundamental economic multipliers. Organisations that prioritise wellbeing consistently outperform peers on innovation, retention, productivity and financial performance.
In the agentic age, these issues become even more central. Poorly implemented AI can increase cognitive load, reduce autonomy and introduce new fairness risks - from biased models to opaque decisioning. HR must embed fairness, safety and inclusion into workflows, hiring systems, performance management and career pathways. Work should be redesigned to reduce friction, protect autonomy and ensure equitable access to opportunity and skills.
Healthy organisations transform faster, retain scarce skills and build the trust required for AI adoption. “Make work better” shouldn’t just be a slogan (as well as the name of a rather excellent blog by Bruce Daisley); it should be a mandatory requirement for sustainable performance.
"Firms that prioritise wellbeing outperform the stock market… delivering higher shareholder returns.” (De Neve et al, Workplace Wellbeing and Firm Performance)
"Fairness matters more than ever. AI raises the stakes, so leaders must communicate clearly and build cultures of accountability." (Patricia Frost, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
FIG 5: The relationship between employee wellbeing and firm financial performance (Source: McKinsey, World Economic Forum, De Neve et al)
6. Reimagine Employee Experience for a Hybrid, AI-Augmented Workforce
“Employee experience is now the chief predictor of retention, productivity, and resilience.” (Deloitte, Global Human Capital Trends 2025)
Employee experience (EX) must now be designed as a system, not a collection of disconnected initiatives. Continuous listening, behavioural insights and real-time feedback loops replace annual surveys as the core instrumentation of EX.
AI is reshaping how people collaborate, solve problems and access support - from copilots in productivity tools to agents embedded in HR services. HR’s task is to ensure these tools remove friction, strengthen connection and enhance, rather than erode, meaning and craftsmanship.
Culture is experienced in small moments: team rituals, collaboration norms, clarity of roles, responsiveness of systems. Organisations that redesign EX holistically - across workflows, leadership behaviours, workplace design, technology and hybrid rhythms - should unlock higher levels of resilience, engagement and performance.
In 2026, EX should evolve to become the way strategy is felt by employees day-to-day, not a separate programme.
"Hybrid work isn’t a policy — it’s an ecosystem. You have to design experiences intentionally, otherwise you get the worst of both worlds." (Michael Fraccaro, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)

7. Scale People Analytics as a Strategic Intelligence Function
“People analytics must evolve from answering HR questions to shaping enterprise decisions.” (Insight222, People Analytics Trends Report 2025–26)
People analytics is becoming the intelligence system that guides enterprise decision-making. With skills data, workflow telemetry, organisational network insights and AI-usage patterns, organisations can finally understand how work actually happens rather than how it appears in org charts or process maps. This shift - from descriptive reporting to real-time organisational sensing - is fundamental in the agentic age.
To scale effectively, people analytics requires firm foundations: automated data pipelines, integrated skills and work data, responsible governance and the capability to design and run experiments at pace. The aim is not to produce more dashboards (heaven forbid); it is to produce clarity. Which behaviours drive productivity? How is value created in teams? Where are critical skills emerging or eroding? What is the impact of AI agents on work quality, decision velocity and employee experience?
Done well, people analytics becomes a strategic advantage: a system that enables early detection of risk, faster reallocation of talent, and continuous improvement of workflows and leadership behaviours. In an agentic organisation, the winners will be those who learn faster, not merely those who measure faster.
“The link between people data and business performance becomes clear when you can show how engagement and capability lift profitability.” (Sharon Taylor, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
"The power of people analytics comes when insight ties directly to business outcomes — performance, customer experience, productivity." (Dawn Klinghoffer, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
FIG 6: Insight222 Leading Companies in People Analytics Model (Source: Insight222)
8. Embed Responsible AI & Workforce Governance
“AI cannot scale without trust.” (Gartner, AI in HR: Hits, Misses and Growing Pains)
Trustworthy AI is now a business imperative. As organisations deploy agentic systems across workflows, HR must lead the creation of governance frameworks that ensure fairness, explainability and ethical use of both employee and organisational data. This means setting clear decision boundaries, defining human-in-the-loop oversight, stress-testing models for bias, and establishing transparent communication so employees understand how AI affects opportunities, assessments and career paths.
Effective governance also requires continuous monitoring of outcomes, not just initial risk assessments. Research shows that poorly governed AI erodes trust, increases cognitive load and amplifies inequity - while well-designed systems enhance autonomy, safety and performance at scale.
Governance is not a brake on innovation; it is the guardrail that enables safe acceleration. Organisations with explicit principles, documented guardrails and credible oversight adopt AI faster and with greater employee support. Responsible AI is no longer a peripheral concern - it is a core component of the modern social contract between employer and employee.
“Responsible AI must be embedded from the start, not retrofitted once problems occur.” (TI People, From AI Impact Assessment to Results)
"AI amplifies both good and bad decisions. Governance is not optional — it’s the difference between progress and harm" (Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
9. Elevate the CHRO as Enterprise Co-Pilot in Organisational Reinvention
“The CHRO is now the CEO’s most important partner in navigating the AI transition.” (BCG, What CEOs Should Look For in an AI-First Chief People Officer)
With work, skills, leadership and operating models being redesigned simultaneously, the CHRO has become the CEO’s closest strategic partner. Boards increasingly rely on CHROs to assess leadership capability, organisational health, skills readiness, talent allocation and the workforce implications of AI-driven change.
The modern CHRO blends economics, organisational psychology, AI literacy, systems thinking, culture expertise and data fluency. They shape decisions on business model reinvention, automation strategy, productivity, leadership appointments, capability building and culture renewal.
This is a profound expansion of scope. CHROs who embrace this mandate will become architects of reinvention, not custodians of HR processes. The role is more complex, more consequential and more central to enterprise performance than at any point in the last 50 years – perhaps ever.
“The CHRO has moved from people expert to organisational architect — shaping how work evolves with technology.” (Lynda Gratton, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
"CHROs have a unique vantage point: they understand capability, culture and change. That combination is what drives transformation." (Janine Vos, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
10. Reinvent the HR Operating Model and HR Capabilities for the Agentic Era
“Traditional structures will not deliver the speed or integration now required.” (Mercer, Operating by Design: Mercer’s new outcome-driven operating model for HR and technology)
HR cannot deliver any of the nine opportunities presented in this article without reinventing itself. Traditional COEs and service-delivery models were designed for times of stability - not today’s world of continuous workflow redesign, dynamic skills needs and pervasive AI.
A modern HR operating model requires:
Cross-functional integration rather than siloed COEs
AI-enabled workflows that automate transactional work
Real-time intelligence from people analytics and skills data
Clear decision rights and owner–accountability for outcomes
HRBPs fluent in AI, economics, data and organisational diagnosis
HR teams need new foundational capabilities: systems thinking, experience design, product mindset, experimentation, behavioural science, data literacy and technical fluency.
Only by reinventing itself can HR enable reinvention everywhere else.
“The HR function of the future blends analytics, experimentation, organisational design and technology fluency. These are no longer optional skills—they are foundational.” (Insight222, People Analytics Trends Report 2025–2026)
“HR leaders need to think of themselves as product managers, where employment is the product. That mindset changes everything — from how we design experiences to how we drive adoption and co-create solutions with our stakeholders." (Tanuj Kapilashrami, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
FIG 7: The New HR Operating Model (Source: TI People)
WHAT HR MUST BECOME TO DELIVER THESE OPPORTUNITIES
To realise these ten opportunities, HR must evolve into a more integrated, insight-driven and future-defining organisational function. That transformation requires three essential shifts.
Operate as an integrated enterprise system.
Redesigning work, skills, leadership and employee experience cannot be achieved by isolated teams. Talent, learning, EX, people analytics and HR operations must function as an interconnected platform with shared outcomes, shared intelligence and shared accountability. The problems we are solving - skills scarcity, organisational redesign, leadership transformation and AI integration - are all system problems, and so therefore require system responses.
Become AI-fluent and evidence-led.
HR professionals do not need to become data scientists or engineers, but they must understand AI’s capabilities, risks and organisational implications. AI literacy, data fluency and scientific thinking are now foundational capabilities for those aspiring to successful careers in HR. As work becomes more agentic, judgement improves when paired with evidence - and HR must champion this partnership across the organisation, from frontline decisions to board-level discussions.
“If HR doesn’t understand how AI works, we can’t shape how work gets redesigned. Data and AI literacy isn’t optional anymore — it’s the entry ticket.” (Nickle LaMoreaux, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
Build a new capability portfolio.
The future HR function blends organisational psychology, behavioural science, systems thinking, experience design, experimentation, governance, talent economics and transformation leadership. These capabilities enable HR to redesign workflows, govern AI ethically, accelerate skill building and orchestrate complex, multi-year change.
In short, HR must become the function that designs, enables and accelerates organisational reinvention - not merely responds to it.
“The best HR teams are running experiments constantly. It’s not about having all the answers — it’s about learning faster than the organisation around you.” (Thomas Otter, Digital HR Leaders podcast episode)
CONCLUSION: HR'S MOMENT OF MAXIMUM INFLUENCE
2026 is a defining year. Organisations are no longer debating whether AI will reshape work - they are debating how fast, how safely and how humanely. That places HR at the centre of enterprise strategy in a way we have not seen in decades.
These opportunities are not tasks - they are capabilities to build. They demand a more integrated, experimental, analytical and courageous HR function. Some will challenge long-held assumptions. Most will stretch HR beyond its comfort zone.
But the prize is meaningful. Organisations that combine agentic technology with human judgement and care will outperform those relying on technology alone. HR—with its unique position at the intersection of people, work and strategy—holds the key for how organisations adapt, thrive and unlock value in the agentic age.
This is HR’s moment of maximum influence.
The question is not whether HR is ready — but whether we will seize the opportunity...
CROWDSOURCING: HELP SHAPE THE FINAL TWO OPPORTUNITIES
Each year, the best ideas come from this community. The challenges and innovations transforming HR rarely originate from a single company - they emerge from the everyday work of practitioners across industries.
So, once again, I’m opening up the final two opportunities to you.
If you were to add one opportunity HR must focus on in 2026, what would it be—and why?
It could be something emerging in your organisation, a challenge I have under-discussed in the first ten opportunities, or a shift you believe is coming faster than most expect.
Share your ideas in the comments. I’ll synthesise the strongest contributions into two additional opportunities - #11 and #12 - in an update of this article in the New Year.
Together, let’s shape the agenda for HR in 2026.

美国48% 员工认为需要 100 万美元才能安心退休:HR 正在面对怎样的长期风险?美国的员工对退休成本的认知正在迅速上升,48% 认为至少需要 100 万美元才能安心退休,但仅有 27% 预计自己能够实现这一目标,超过一半的员工因此考虑推迟退休。代际差异进一步加剧:Gen Z 在高度焦虑的同时最乐观,也最积极尝试 AI 财务工具;Gen X 则成为最不安的一代,夹在家庭责任与退休时间压力之间。详细请查看
在通胀高企、生活成本持续攀升、职场不确定性加剧的背景下,企业 HR 正站在一个关键的十字路口:员工的财务压力正在真实侵蚀生产力,但他们对未来的信心却并未消失。Betterment at Work 的《2025 Retirement Readiness Report》,给 HR 提供了一份极具现实意义的答案。这不是一份单纯讨论退休的报告,而是一张美国职场“财务心理结构”的全景图。
一、一个反直觉的现实:员工更焦虑了,却并没有放弃未来
报告最重要、也最容易被误读的发现是:90% 的员工表示存在中度到重度财务焦虑,但仍有 71% 的员工认为自己在“退休准备度”上是有信心的。
从 HR 视角看,这不是乐观主义,而是一种新的心理分层模式正在形成。
员工正在学会把财务生活拆成两层:
当下层:信用卡债务、房租、食品、医疗、突发支出
未来层:退休、长期储蓄、401(k)、资产增长
他们接受“现在很难”,但仍选择相信“未来可控”。这是一种高度理性的适应机制,也解释了为什么在财务压力上升的同时,401(k) 参与率却达到了 91% 的历史新高。
二、真正的危机不在焦虑,而在预期与现实的巨大断层
2025 年最值得 HR 警惕的数据之一是:48% 的员工认为退休至少需要 100 万美元以上,而只有 27% 预计自己最终能存到这一水平。
这意味着什么?
意味着员工对“退休成本”的认知正在快速升级,但对“实现路径”的把握并没有同步增强。直接后果是:
54% 的员工已认真考虑推迟退休
女性与婴儿潮一代受影响最为明显
财务不安全感开始向组织层面外溢,影响留任与绩效
对 HR 而言,这不是个人理财问题,而是长期劳动力结构风险。
三、代际差异不再是“偏好不同”,而是“财务世界不同”
报告非常清晰地呈现了一个趋势:不同代际员工已经生活在完全不同的财务生态中。
Gen Z
退休信心最高(88%)
日常财务焦虑也最高
更早使用 AI 做财务规划
却最不了解雇主福利内容
Gen X
退休信心最低(61%)
同时承担房贷、子女教育、赡养老人
是“最需要支持,却最容易被忽略”的一代
Baby Boomers
对市场波动高度敏感
更担心临近退休时的系统性风险
这对 HR 的启示非常直接:统一福利方案正在系统性失效。
四、福利的角色正在被重新定义:不再是“成本”,而是“稳定器”
76% 的员工表示:财务类福利比一年前更重要。57% 的员工明确表示:更好的福利(而非更高工资)会促使他们跳槽。
在员工眼中,真正有价值的福利高度集中在三类:
有竞争力的 401(k) 匹配
雇主支持的紧急储蓄机制
学生贷款与债务支持(尤其对年轻员工)
福利已经从“加分项”转变为留人、稳人、提效的基础设施。
五、AI 正在进入员工财务生活,但 HR 不能“全权外包”
目前仅 22% 的员工使用 AI 进行退休或财务规划,但在 Gen Z 中已达到 34%。使用 AI 的员工更可能:
增加 401(k) 缴费
更了解自身福利
报告财务状况改善
但员工的保留同样明确:
对数据隐私的担忧
对缺乏人类判断的担忧
对复杂财务决策“去人化”的不安
这意味着:AI 是放大器,而不是替代品。
HR 的价值恰恰在于:把 AI 工具嵌入一个“有人类解释、有信任、有边界”的体系中。
六、对企业 HR 的终极拷问:你提供的是福利,还是财务安全感?
报告最后给 HR 抛出的不是一个技术问题,而是一个战略问题:
员工并不是缺乏意愿,也不是不努力,而是越来越依赖企业是否能提供可持续的财务支持架构。
这要求 HR 做出三项根本转变:
从福利管理者 → 财务安全设计者
从统一方案 → 分代际、分阶段支持
从“成本视角” → “生产力与留任视角”
结语
2025 年的员工并不天真。他们清楚当下的压力,也清楚未来的风险。他们愿意继续相信,但前提是——企业要给他们一个“值得相信的结构”。
而这,正是 HR 在未来几年中最不可替代的价值所在。
