Running a lean HR team at a startup means you’re constantly choosing between urgent fires and strategic work. With 2026 bringing a wave of regulatory change, shifting employee expectations, AI transformation, and rising benefit costs, it’s hard to know what truly deserves your limited time and budget.
This 45-minute webinar taps Sequoia’s HR, benefits, and compliance experts along with experienced People leader, Ciara O’Sullivan, of Bilt, to break down what’s coming in 2026 and translate it into a clear, prioritized action plan for understaffed HR and People teams. You’ll learn where to double down, what to safely de-prioritize, and how to get outsized impact from a small but mighty team.
We’ll cover:
- Key 2026 compliance updates that affect startups (and what you actually need to do about them)
- People strategy moves that help you attract, engage, and retain talent
- Benefits and total rewards trends that matter most for investor-backed companies in a cost-conscious environment
- Practical prioritization frameworks to decide what your lean HR team should tackle each quarter
- How to leverage AI, integrated platforms, and partners to automate low-value work and free up strategic capacity
