Meet the workforce, health and safety, and skills buyers from across UK water, gas and electricity utilities

The new Workforce Zone covers the full people agenda, and will put you in contact with professionals in HR strategy and people technology; organisational change and transformation; learning, development and training; health, safety and wellbeing; talent, resourcing and skills; and diversity, equity and inclusion

Five reasons the organisations solving utilities' workforce crisis are choosing Utility Week Live

Why the Workforce Zone?

Direct Access

The people setting workforce strategy, together

CPOs, HR Directors, Transformation Directors, Heads of Talent and Heads of Safety, actively building the capability, culture and safety infrastructure GB's utilities need to deliver the transition.

Timing

The skills crisis gives you a reason to talk

Utilities need 400,000 new people within a decade to deliver net zero, the connections build-out and AMP8/RIIO. Every organisation in the sector is reviewing its people strategy now.

Growth    

Transformation needs partners, not just platforms

AMP8 and RIIO are driving the largest organisational transformation in the sector's history, and the leaders delivering it need HR technology and safety partners to secure the capability their plans depend on.

Content-led

Stage sessions built around what this audience wants

A programme shaped by the workforce and safety intelligence this audience actually follows, designed to draw HR, talent and health and safety professionals into your zone across both days.

Year-round
