SIM Work 4.0 SIG The Labor Market is Sending a Signal. Are You Reading It
2026-07-14 12:00 - 13:00
SIM Work 4.0 · July 2026 Session
The Labor Market Is Sending a Signal.
Are You Reading It?
Introducing the Work 4.0 Index — the first composite measure of structural workforce health built specifically for technology leaders.

July 2026 · SIM TechLeader Forum ● Live Session + Q&A ● SIM Members

40 / 100
Current W4I Score Hidden Stress Zone

25%
of U.S. job cuts now cite AI — a first

61.9%
Labor force participation — lowest since Nov 2021

The economy is growing. Unemployment looks manageable. And yet something structural is shifting beneath the surface — entry-level roles contracting, discouraged workers surging, AI-cited layoffs reaching a milestone never seen before. The Work 4.0 Index was built to measure exactly this. Not the headline. The signal underneath it.

WHAT WE’LL COVER

01

The Index, Explained
Six pillars. Two layers — Baseline and Enhanced. Why the gap between them is the most important number on the page, and what it’s telling us right now.

02

Reading the Current Score
A walk through the May 2026 data: what each pillar is measuring, where stress is building, and why the trajectory matters more than any single month.

03

The Organizational Mirror
How to place your organization on the same scale as the national index — and what the CIO/CHRO gap in your own scores reveals about hidden risk.

04

What Technology Leaders Do With This
Board conversations. Workforce planning. Talent pipeline decisions. Concrete decision frames for using monthly index data in your leadership practice.

05

Live Q&A
Bring your numbers. Bring your skepticism. The index is designed to be interrogated.

THIS SESSION IS FOR YOU IF…

✓ You’re walking into board conversations about AI and workforce with more questions than data
✓ You suspect the labor market is changing faster than the headlines suggest
✓ You want a structured way to benchmark your organization’s workforce posture against the macro
✓ You’re a CIO who needs the CHRO in the room — and a framework that bridges both views

Bill Waas
Co-Chair, SIM Work 4.0 · Architect, Work 4.0 Index
The Work 4.0 Index publishes monthly. This session is the first time the full methodology, current data, and organizational application framework are presented together to the SIM community.
