Explore strategies for sustaining morale during challenging periods at the upcoming GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit

Brightmine, a leading HR consultancy, will discuss how companies are navigating workforce management amid economic challenges at the upcoming GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit this September.

Senior Content Manager Sheila Attwood is set to provide guidance on sustaining employee morale during these tumultuous times. The gaming sector is currently experiencing significant job cuts following extensive growth between 2020 and 2022.

Attwood, with nearly three decades of research and editorial expertise, oversees Brightmine’s data and market insights division. Her team handles employer practice surveys, webinars, podcasts, and compensation-related content, and she is a frequent speaker on media pay trends.

The HR Summit, focusing on employee support during the ongoing unpredictable climate, will convene at the Royal Institution in London on September 18. Tickets can be purchased here.

Key themes at the event include leadership, neurodiversity, remote and hybrid work environments, artificial intelligence, mental health, and skill shortages. The day will culminate with the 2024 Best Places To Work Awards.

Following a sold-out event at BAFTA last year, this year's Summit has moved to a larger venue. The panel of speakers features prominent industry figures like Andy Coley (Games Studio Training), Eimear Slattery (RKD), Emma Smith (Hestia Talent), Gina Jackson (Pitchify), Hayley Blundy (Futurlab), Lisa Opie (Ubisoft), Michael Chan (Compulsion Games), Perri Lewis (Mastered), Phil Atkinson (NextGen Skills), Pierre Escaich (Ubisoft), Sarah Brewster (Fresh Seed), Sarah Sorrell (Safe In Our World), Scott Baxter (Wardog), Sean Hogan (RKD), Sheila Attwood (Brightmine), and Tommy Thompson (AI and Games), among others.
