LEAP HR: Construction 2026

Memo

Construction is facing a workforce challenge that is no longer just an HR issue. It is a project delivery issue. In 2026, the industry needs to attract nearly 500,000 additional workers, while more than 80% of contractors report difficulty filling roles. The impact is already being felt, with 45% of firms reporting project delays directly linked to labor shortages. The firms pulling ahead are not waiting for the labor market to improve. They are building stronger leadership pipelines, accelerating workforce readiness, creating greater visibility into employee skills, improving retention, and challenging long-held assumptions about how talent is attracted, developed, and deployed. LEAP HR: Construction brings together the leaders driving that shift to share the practical strategies helping them reduce workforce risk, strengthen capability, and build organizations that can continue to grow, adapt, and deliver under pressure. Join the industry's most forward-thinking HR leaders to benchmark what is working, challenge conventional thinking, and discover how workforce strategy is becoming a critical competitive advantage.
