Launching of IPM - National HRM award

The Institute of Personnel Management Sri Lanka (IPM-SL), the premier Professional Institute, representing the Human Resource Management discipline in Sri Lanka, provided the initiative and leadership to organise and conduct the National HRM award in 2002 and 2004 to recognise the Sri Lankan corporates professing the best HR practices as a part of their organisational process.

IPM-SL recently decided to re-launch this event of National significance incorporating new dimensions of HR as revealed from the survey of the worlds' best HR practices conducted by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development UK (CIPD).

Under this IPM-SL would learn from the experience of three leading HR professional institutes of the world, namely, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development UK, Singapore Human Resource Institute (SHRI) and Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI) who have conducted similar national competitions.

The three organisations along with IPM-SL are members of the World Federation of Personnel Management Associations. Sri Lanka is the immediate Past President of the Asia Pacific Federation of Human Resource Management of which the Singapore and Australian Institutes are members.
