The higher ed workforce is showing signs of both resilience and change. As employees reevaluate what they need from their careers, institutions are navigating a talent market shaped by shifting expectations around work, growth, flexibility, and purpose.
Join us on Thursday, August 27th as we unpack findings from the 2026 HERC Higher Education Workforce Survey. Drawing on responses from higher education professionals across the country, this session will explore trends in employee satisfaction, workforce mobility, workload, belonging, confidence in the sector, career growth, and job seeker preferences.
This year's findings reveal encouraging trends and insights into workforce mobility, career decision-making, and what employees need to thrive in higher education. Workforce belonging remains a significant strength, confidence in higher education careers continues to shift, and employees are increasingly evaluating opportunities through the lens of sustainability, growth, and workplace experience. The report also offers important insights into today's higher education job market, including what candidates value, how job seekers evaluate opportunities, and what institutions can do to remain competitive in attracting talent.
Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the workforce trends shaping higher education today and practical insights to support recruitment, retention, and employee success strategies on their campuses.
