As AI becomes an integral component within the world of work, organizations are aligning people and strategy to technological advancements according to ADP's 2026 HR Trends Report. In Canada, that trend is especially apparent as business leaders are using data and technology to enhance the employee experience and strengthen compliance according to the Canada Workplace Trends for 2026 report by ADP Canada. The findings underscore the growing importance of HR-IT collaboration, responsible AI governance, and transparency in shaping the future of work - with Canadian workplace data revealing unique insights into how employers are navigating these shifts.

"Canadian organizations face unique workforce challenges as they navigate both technological transformation and evolving employee expectations," said Jim Lord, president, ADP Canada. "From managing new legislative and regulatory AI disclosure requirements, to the need for increased skills development, employers are at a pivotal moment as they balance increased innovation with human-centered practices. The Canada Workplace Trends for 2026 report by ADP Canada reveals how businesses are prioritizing both their people and their processes during a transformative era of work."

ADP Canada's report uncovers how small, mid-sized and large companies are responding to rapid innovation by transforming operations related to talent and compliance. There's a blend of new considerations, like implementing an AI ethics policy, while traditional practices, like employee onboarding, are being rethought in a new era of work.
