The GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit is three weeks away and here is everything you can expect to hear about at the event.
For those that aren't familiar with our event, the HR Summit is a day-long conference and forum featuring talks and breakout sessions on vital HR, leadership and talent-based issues. The event concludes with the 2024 Best Places To Work Awards. It takes place at the Royal Institution in London (where the Christmas Lectures take place, it’s very fancy). Tickets are on sale right now.
This year there are numerous sessions on leadership, including levelling up staff, managing remote teams, and supporting employees during these unprecedented and challenging times.
There are also sessions looking at how different generations approach and view work, we have a leading AI expert who will share his advice on how that technology might transform HR, while we have several sessions looking at the mental health crisis and how employers can help.
We will also discuss neurodiversity with a talk specifically around supporting and unlocking neurodiverse talent. There are also conversations around the skills crisis, including new ways to develop the talent pipeline.
Leading games studios are sharing expertise at the event, including Compulsion Games, Dlala, Futurlab, Maverick Games, Rare and Wardog. Plus, we have experts from FreshSeed, Game Studio Training, GamePlan, Mastered, NextGen Skills, RKD and more.
