HP Showcases the Future of Work

Press release from the issuing company:

This week at CES 2026, HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) debuted new technologies that position personal fulfilment as the next frontier for driving business growth. Knowledge workers worldwide are feeling under pressure; just 20% have a healthy relationship with work. But given the right tools and technology, the likelihood of workers having a healthy work relationship more than doubles – and increases five-fold when the workforce sees their company investing in them. In an era marked by disruption and change, HP recognizes a growing fulfilment deficit in the workforce and is committed to empowering organizations to transform this challenge into an opportunity for innovation and resilience.
