TOPIC: HR in Hospitality
Join Veronica Brandy, CHRL, Chief People Officer at Easton’s Group of Hotels, for an engaging, high-level conversation on HR in the hospitality sector. This session offers students, recent graduates, and early-career HR professionals the opportunity to gain real-world insight from an experienced HR leader and learn what it truly takes to build a successful HR career in a fast-paced, people-driven industry.
Veronica will share perspectives on starting your HR career, identifying your passion within HR, and becoming an indispensable business partner by truly understanding the business and its people needs. The discussion will explore the importance of being a “jack of all trades” in hospitality HR, developing others through a “teach your people how to fish” mindset, and building strong professional relationships—both internally and externally.
The session will also touch on the unique challenges and rewards of hospitality HR, as well as insights into the future of HR in the hospitality industry. A live Q&A will follow, giving attendees the chance to ask questions and connect directly with the speaker.
