Singapore’s first batch of HR professionals with an accredited status
that puts them at a cutting edge in the workforce 2. The HR Accreditation Framework, which was introduced earlier this year, allows existing and aspiring HR practitioners to assess their own qualifications and work to improve their competency levels. This framework will also enhance their employability, allowing employers to establish benchmark and upgrade the skills, knowledge and competence required of the HR team. 3. The applicants are assessed via a points system, where academic qualifications, professional HR portfolio and professional development will be taken into consideration by the HR Accreditation’s board, assessment panel, and the ethics and appeal panel, which includes representatives from SHRI’s executive council, Ministry and Statutory board, and the business and HR communities. 4. “HR professionals are assessed based on their competencies and contribution to the HR profession. On the 18th August, Singapore will see the very first group of 34 HR professionals being accredited with a professional status. They will no doubt feel recognised and more confident of their capabilities towards advancing the profession. It is a standard that will make Singaporeans and HR professionals proud,” says SHRI’s President, Mdm Ho Geok Choo. 5. Accreditation will soon be made online at the Human Capital Hub (HC Hub), an online learning and knowledge portal for HR professionals. The HC Hub, powered by CAMS (Competence Assurance Management System), which enables management to assess the outcome of knowledge acquisition by employees against identified competence gaps, will be launched at the Summit. Get on the radar of the winners from The Singapore HR Awards 2006, including Singapore Police Force and Raffles International, for their winning strategies 6. Recognised for their efforts, the recent winners of The Singapore HR Awards 2006 return to the Summit to share with the participants their winning HR strategies to creating great workplaces. Their success and experience will help participants reflect upon their existing strategies, and dwell on what works for their employees in this highly mobilised, international workforce, and what not. 7. There will also be a Directors’ Panel Discussion, which consists of The Singapore HR Awards 2006 winning organisations, to share insights into the leading HR practices. Included among them are Mr Loy Chye Meng, Commander Training Command of Singapore Police Force, and Mr Tommy Ng, Senior Vice President, HR, Raffles International. 8. The other winning organisations that will be sharing at the Summit are: o ABN Amro o Olam International o Republic Polytechnic o Civil Service College
9. David Ang, Executive Director of SHRI says, “Good and effective HR leaders don’t simply adapt HR to the organisation’s strategy, they create and modify that strategy on a continuous basis. They use a variety of techniques, tools, and styles to promote teamwork, shape collaboration, and promote good relations at work. SHRI is pleased to sift out and bring together these leading visionaries to provide unique insights and perspectives into the HR profession.”
10. This Summit is thus formulated to provide insights into tried and tested, practical HR practices from some of the best in the industry, and a glimpse into individuals who potentially have what it takes to excel in the industry. .
