Event Content
LEAP HR: Construction is the definitive forum for HR leaders in the construction industry who are responsible for solving the workforce challenges now shaping project delivery.
Over three days, you'll hear practical case studies from construction organizations tackling talent shortages, leadership readiness, retention, workforce planning, career development, AI adoption, and future workforce pipelines. Join 150+ HR leaders to learn what is actually working across the industry and build practical action plans you can take back to your business.
This event is designed for HR leaders working across the construction industry.
We bring together Chief Human Resources Officers, Chief People Officers, Vice Presidents of Human Resources, Heads of People & Culture, Talent Development Leaders, Workforce Development Leaders, Talent Acquisition Leaders, and HR Directors from contractors, specialty contractors, engineering firms, developers, and infrastructure organizations.
The agenda focuses on the workforce challenges construction organizations must solve to support growth and project delivery.
Topics include:
- Workforce planning and visibility
- Leadership development and succession planning
- Workforce readiness and capability building
- Employee retention and engagement
- Manager effectiveness
- Career pathways and internal mobility
- Future workforce development and skilled labor pipelines
- Talent acquisition and campus recruitment
- Performance management
- Compensation and total rewards
- AI-enabled workforce planning and HR transformation
- HR technology adoption and change management
All content is delivered through practical construction-specific case studies designed to provide measurable and actionable takeaways.
We believe the traditional conference format is not fit-for-purpose, so we've ripped it up and started from scratch with the "Discover, Develop, Action" format.
In each session, you'll first hear a 20-minute case study from a construction HR leader sharing a proven strategy and the business impact it delivered. You'll then have the opportunity to question speakers directly before spending dedicated time with peers building practical action plans for your own organization.
The speaker faculty features senior HR and people leaders from some of North America's leading construction organizations.
Confirmed speakers include leaders from Batson-Cook Construction, Polk Mechanical, JE Dunn Construction, Garney Construction, PCL Construction, Juneau Construction Company, Hoffman Construction Company, Shawmut Design and Construction, VEIT, Morgan Corp, Swinerton, The Christman Company, Clune Construction, Truebeck Construction, MYCON General Contractors, Kinetic Construction and many more.
