The Total Rewards Experience in 2030: Ten Bold Shifts Shaping Work, Pay, and AI

By 2030, AI will transform how work gets done, how organizations measure performance, and how employees understand their rewards. As AI accelerates, leaders will face new questions: What happens when every employee has an AI twin? How do pay decisions shift when project impact matters more than job titles? And what if curiosity becomes one of the most rewarded skills?

During this interactive, hands-on conference session, participants explore ten bold scenarios that challenge today’s assumptions about jobs, pay, performance, and Total Rewards. Through rotating “Future Snapshot” stations, facilitated discussions, and guided reflection exercises, attendees dive into what excites them about the future and what concerns them. In addition, they connect these scenarios to their own organizations and discuss how future trends may reshape current practices.

Furthermore, participants identify practical actions they can take today to prepare their HR, Total Rewards, and leadership teams for rapid change. As a result, they leave with a clearer vision of what a future-ready Total Rewards strategy should include and how to start building it immediately.

Key Takeaways
