Participation

The Chamber's Human Capital Committee meetings are held on each third Wednesday of every month at 9.00 a.m. The location is announced beforehand through this website in the Coming Events page. The meetings are open to all members, and address human resources issues that affect the day-to-day concerns of companies in Brazil.

The Human Capital Committee usually consults with its own members about relevant issues it could elaborate upon. Therefore, the participation of members is critical to define the content and format of such meetings. Once the issues have been chosen, the Committee releases the agenda in advance, as well as the names of lecturers or debaters invited. Meetings are always attended by participants directly envolved with human resources of member companies or involved with the mathers of discussion.

The Human Capital Committee strives to encourage an ever increasing participation of members at such monthly meetings by focusing on the quality of debates in plain language and on the integration of all attendees.
