Navigating evolving employee expectations

In this special episode of The HR Leader Podcast, produced in partnership with Dynamic Leadership Programs Australia (DLPA), we unpack how employers and the HR function can better navigate shifting demands from the workforce in FY2026–27 and beyond. Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back DLPA chief executive Karlie Cremin to discuss how workers are staying in jobs for longer (thereby amplifying the need to build better engagement), the headline factors driving evolving employee expectations and why they are accelerating, the place for wellness in this conversation, the impact of "scope creep", what employees are generally expecting and why, the desire to have idiosyncratic needs accomodated, generational differences, practical steps that employers should be taking, and how HR can help bridge divides.
