The island’s premier professional body in HRM, IPM’s official representatives Samitha Perera (the President) and Rohitha Amarapala (Vice President) recently participated at the annual conference and exhibition organised by Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) in the United Kingdom.

CIPD conference and exhibition, which was held in Manchester Central, was a huge success with a participation of 4,000 HR professionals seeking practical HR insights, new tools, techniques and new inspiration. Creating the best workplace on earth and techniques to enable transformational employee engagement; collecting and communicating HR data for greater business insight, Developing leadership behaviors aligned to vision, values and culture, creating meaningful work through ‘big data’ were some of the central topics aired and discussed at the conference. The IPM representatives made use of the opportunity to discuss with CEO of Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development Peter Cheese about new approaches in updating the IPM curriculum, to raise and enhance it to globally recognised standards. They had further discussions on CIPD representation at IPM’s annual National HR conference scheduled to be held on 18 and 19 June 2014 at the BMICH, Colombo. Perera and Rohitha Amarapala also had discussions with Cheese on further developing key result areas of HR over the Asian region, in collaboration with Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. These collaborative efforts will no doubt facilitate the corporate sector and all the HR professionals in the Asian region, who are longing for practical HR insights, new tools, techniques and inspiration in the field, which would keep them up to date and eminently relevant. As a gesture of further sustaining and strengthening the cordial and healthy relationship between the two institutes, the IPM representatives presented the CIPD Chief Executive Officer a special gift.
