Which Hiring Reports Can Inform Strategic Workforce Planning in 2026?

Which hiring reports can help you build a comprehensive, data-driven work strategy in 2026? In this episode of Work Week, Dr. Gabby Burlacu of The Upwork Research Institute breaks down the key labor market data sources that leaders and professionals alike should be paying attention to — and why relying on only one report isn't enough.

Also learn about a crucial but often overlooked piece of the labor market puzzle: freelancers, who represent 28% of skilled knowledge workers. Whether you're designing your team structure or future-proofing your skill set, this episode offers a practical cheat sheet for making data-informed decisions in 2026.

How do organizations and workers stay agile in a low hire, low fire job market?

Episode How Can Leaders Build Workplaces Where Women Stay and Thrive? Cover

How Can Leaders Build Workplaces Where Women Stay and Thrive?

Why are experienced women leaving the workforce in record numbers — and what can leaders do to change course? In this episode of Work Week, Dr. Gabby Burlacu of The Upwork Research Institute digs into the data behind an uptick in women exiting the workplace. Turnover among women isn't about balancing caregiving or other personal priorities, but is rather about outdated systems, stalled promotions, and inflexible work models that push workers out rather than helping them advance. Explore how slow advancement, pay inequity, and return-to-office mandates disproportionately impact women — and why this isn't simply a retention issue, but a serious business risk. Also learn key shifts leaders can make right now to build workplaces where women stay and thrive.
