The CHC/Hugh James HR Symposium stands as a cornerstone event for Human Resources professionals operating within the Welsh social housing sector. In an era where the "war for talent" is no longer a buzzword but a daily reality, this symposium provides a high-level forum for HR directors and managers to dissect the unique workforce challenges facing Wales. Hosted at the prestigious Two Central Square in the heart of Cardiff, the event is designed to move beyond theoretical discussions and into the realm of actionable legislative and cultural strategy.
Throughout the day, attendees will engage with legal experts from Hugh James and policy leads from Community Housing Cymru to explore the evolving landscape of employment law specifically tailored to housing associations. Key sessions will cover the practicalities of implementing inclusive recruitment practices that reflect the diverse communities served by the sector, as well as strategies for maintaining psychological safety in a high-pressure work environment. The symposium also serves as a vital networking hub, allowing peers to share best practices on staff retention, mental health support, and the integration of hybrid working models that balance operational needs with employee wellbeing.
As the sector prepares for upcoming Senedd policy shifts, this gathering ensures that HR departments are not just reactive, but are driving the organizational change necessary to meet the "Homes for Every Future" vision. Participants can expect deep dives into the latest Welsh Government workforce guidelines and collaborative workshops aimed at solving the recruitment hurdles currently impacting maintenance and frontline service delivery. This is an essential date for any professional looking to align their people strategy with the broader mission of social housing in Wales.
