"HRCC is a distinctive conference focused on equipping HR professionals to successfully navigate the unique challenges of the fast-paced and ever-changing merit shop construction industry. While legal updates and subject matter experts are important for continuing education and adopting current best practices, the networking opportunities are vital to learn about practical application, implementation, and lessons learned. Development of peer relationships and mentor insights may prove invaluable in those situations when participants need to “phone-a-friend” for guidance in a pinch. The craft-based focus in areas of recruiting, onboarding, skills training, compensation, employee relations, and legal landscape differentiates this conference from the norms of general HR conferences.”

“HRCC has been a national organization devoted to HR, labor and employment issues in the construction industry for more than 35 years. The HRCC annual conference is outstanding; it provides a focused and unique agenda for construction HR and labor professionals at all levels.

“I am labor and employment attorney with 40 years’ experience representing merit shop contractors. I have been involved in HRCC for many years. I believe it is the best organization for HR professionals for merit shop contractors to network in a closed and small environment, exchange information and get access to educational and other materials. The annual conference is excellent and must attend for industry professionals. It covers a wide range of human resources issues specific to the construction industry and the challenges faced by merit shop contractors. Presentations also include the latest developments in labor and employment law by top attorneys in the industry. I strongly recommend HRCC for industry HR professionals.”

If you are seeking timely information regarding our industry’s workforce development initiatives and challenges, and wish to be an active participant in developing solutions, then I highly recommend you become a member of the HRCC.

 

I have been an active member of HRCC for many years. The organization’s focus is on workforce development, craft training, hiring and retention strategies, and timely legal topics including best practices for dispute resolution and many other areas. HRCC is comprised of our industry’s most knowledgeable and experienced Human Resource professionals.  The group is large enough to offer a wide and diverse range of ideas, yet small enough to discuss and explore new solutions for challenges facing our industry.  Learn how your problem may have already been solved by others in your field.

 

The HRCC annual conference is a great event with experts presenting information on numerous relevant industry topics. It also provides excellent networking opportunities.

 

I encourage you to contact HRCC for more information on how you can join and benefit from an HRCC membership.

When I attended my first HRCC Meeting in 1998 and quickly realized this group was something to be a part of for years to come.  The Human Resources Construction Council is a unique group.  Made up of direct competitors and vendors coming together on an annual basis to share their wealth of knowledge to make the individuals that attend, their companies and the industry we serve better for it.  Being able to take back to your company what you learned at the HRCC Meetings and apply it in real world situations is invaluable.

 

I have found the networking opportunities within the group are endless and is the main reason HRCC exists.  We are all dealing with similar challenges with staffing, training, labor laws, etc.  Chances are, someone in the group has been there and done that and can lend advice on how they handled a particular topic or situation. 

 

If you are looking for a Human Resources group to join, to learn about what is impacting Staffing, Recruiting, Human Resources, Training and Labor Laws in the Industrial Construction world, this is one group you will want to be a part of.

I was first aware of HRCC back in 1991.  My HR Mentor from Yeargin Construction joined the fledgling group.  I left the Construction Industry in 1999 and rejoined it in 2017.  I ran across a LinkedIn post from HRCC advertising the upcoming conference and immediately joined!

 

 HRCC is an amazing group of diverse companies and vendors.  It struck me as rather interesting that many of the members and vendors were folks I had worked with in the 1990’s!  It felt like coming home.  I have enjoyed our meetings ever since, always looking forward to talking with my colleagues. 

 

 A couple things I have noticed along the way, it is no longer large Industrial Contractors.  The group has expanded to Commercial and Infrastructure construction.  This allows for a greater breadth of knowledge and experience within the group.  The other thing, the open willingness of the group to share information, best practices and knowledge.  All you have to do, is ask!

I have a deep gratitude for the invaluable support, understanding, and wealth of knowledge provided by the Human Resources Construction Council (HRCC). As a lifelong member of the construction industry, I have had the privilege of experiencing firsthand the exceptional level of professionalism and dedication exhibited by the board and members.

 

What sets HRCC apart is not just the wealth of knowledge they collectively share, but the genuine sense of understanding and empathy in their interaction. The challenges in our industry are unique and their ability to empathize and navigate through the complexities of our field(s) have been most helpful in providing practical solutions and tailored advice that benefits my organization more with every interaction.

 

 I recommend anyone in the Human Resources field or Construction industry seeking a knowledgeable and supportive organization to look no further than the Human Resources Construction Council.
