Help us

This is the time for us to shine the spotlight on the valuable and irreplaceable role that you, as an HR professional, play in helping your organization succeed. Together with business, we are leading an inclusive, flexible, participative

and productive future; benefiting workers, delivering for organisations and contributing to society as a whole.

World HR Day is not a globally recognized day. However, various days throughout the year are dedicated to celebrating and recognizing the work of HR professionals. One of them is International HR Day.

International HR Day is all about recognizing and celebrating the value and positive impact that HR brings to the organization and its people.

20 May 2019 represents the launch for International HR Day, and we encourage as many associations, organisations and individuals to find time around then to acknowledge and celebrate their HR contribution together.
