International Recognition
CIPD Partnership

On 16 November 2017, IHRP has signed a mutual recognition agreement with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). This signifies a strategic partnership to globalise and build a borderless HR community. The CIPD and IHRP share a common vision to develop HR professionals who are future-oriented and are able to embrace change to unlock the potential of people and enable transformation of business.

As part of the CIPD-IHRP Partnership, HR professionals can enjoy mutual recognition from both the CIPD and IHRP through the respective bridging pathways.
