"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.”

“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.

The open exchange of information and trust among peers in this group make HRCC an invaluable forum. HRCC offers HR leaders at every stage of their career ample opportunities for networking, sharing of best practices, and professional development. 

It was great seeing you and your colleagues!
