Humanising business: a view from outside HR

Tuesday 10 February 2026 | 15:30 – 17:00 GMT | MS Teams

Guest provocateur: Tobias Haug, Founder, Humanizing Business Network and former Chief Happiness Officer, SAP

As organisations navigate rapid technological change, the call to optimise human capability is becoming louder. But what does this look like in practice, beyond HR initiatives, and how do you redesign businesses so that people can work with greater autonomy, confidence and purpose?

For this roundtable, we’re delighted to welcome Tobias Haug, Founder of the Humanizing Business Network and former Chief Happiness Officer, SAP. Tobias will share an insider view on how he moved human-centred work from a concept to an enterprise-level movement – from influencing leaders and shaping a compelling business case, to enabling employee autonomy and scaling behaviour change.

We’ll discuss with Tobias:

  • How to humanise work by maximising human capabilities
  • How to build financial and strategic cases that will engage senior stakeholders
  • Practical tactics and micro interventions that create meaningful change
  • The challenges facing strategic HR today and strategies to help you to deliver and succeed

This roundtable is an opportunity for HR and Talent leaders to explore a new perspective on influencing organisational strategy and culture – to improve the employee experience and unlock autonomy and performance at scale.
