Gallagher at the Leaders Forum 2026

Gallagher was proud to be ADIA’s preferred insurance provider and a sponsor of the 2026 Leaders Forum. Following a preview of Gallagher’s Workforce Trends Report, discussions at the forum highlighted the growing pressure on organisations to attract and retain talent, manage evolving workforce risks, and strengthen resilience in a rapidly changing environment.

During James’ presentation, insights from Gallagher’s Workforce Trends research reinforced that employee wellbeing remains a critical business issue, with minimal improvement in burnout, engagement and intent to stay in recent years, with many organisations already paying the price.

Key workforce challenges highlighted included:

• 2 in 3 employees are financially unwell, impacting focus, productivity and overall performance
• 1 in 3 employees have a side hustle, often driven by cost‑of‑living pressures, increasing fatigue and reducing cognitive capacity
• 1 in 4 employees are experiencing burnout, contributing to higher turnover, unplanned leave and increased workers’ compensation claims

The organisations that will outperform over the next 3-5 years won’t just optimise their organisational financial wellbeing; they’ll recognise it as a driver of organisational performance. It’s not about whether you can afford to invest; it’s about how comfortable you are with the risk that’s already there, and Gallagher is here to help you drive that change.
