How to Thrive Despite Budget Cuts

HR budgets might be flat, but the C-suite’s expectations continue to rise. In the coming year, only 13% of HR teams expect increased funding, but 31% anticipate their scope of work will increase (Paycor, HR in 2026). The math doesn’t add up—so how can leaders close the gap?
