The Human Resources Construction Council (HRCC) is a consortium of human resources / workforce development professionals, employed by US based merit shop contractors, who support the domestic construction industry.

It is the mission of the HRCC to continually advance the knowledge, skills, and abilities of all HRCC professionals and to enhance the quality of HR services and workforce efficiency in the industry. This is accomplished through human resources training and networking opportunities. These efforts will ensure the continued improvement of the construction image, the growth and development of its workforce, and the opportunity to make positive change in the industry.

The HRCC holds an annual conference to provide an opportunity for HR professionals to learn about industry trends and share experiences and expertise with other construction HR and workforce development professionals. This conference brings together experienced and new HR professionals and gives them the opportunity to openly discuss successes and obstacles. The value is in the level of experience that is brought together in one location and the lasting connections that are made for continued support throughout the year. The annual conference receives support from various organizations, vendors, agencies, and law firms that contribute financial assistance to maximize participation, content, and networking.
