Opening the Door to SHRM Global Community
SHRM is committed to advancing the HR profession worldwide, with Africa as an integral part of this vision. Our approach is intentional — built on trust, shared goals, and sustained collaboration — to ensure partnerships that deliver meaningful impact.
At the inaugural Global Conference on Human Resources Africa, in Ghana, in 2024, SHRM pledged to strengthen our ties with HR colleagues across the continent.
Nearly a year later, we are ready to honor that commitment by entering into formal Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with the following organizations:
Chartered Institute of Human Resource Management, Ghana
Tanzania Human Resource and Administration Professionals Association
Institute of People Management of Zimbabwe
Rwanda Human Resources Management Organization
This partnership will extend full SHRM membership and create meaningful opportunities in research, certification, education, thought leadership and branding.
Our Shared Vision
This partnership is rooted in one belief: HR drives the success of workers and workplaces everywhere. By aligning SHRM’s global network with the expertise of African HR leaders, we are strengthening the profession for decades to come.
