CIPM urges HR practitioners to brace up for ‘new normal’

As businesses and organisations continue to adjust to the Covid- 19 disruption and the changing world of work, the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), has urged human resource (HR) practitioners to brace up for the ‘new normal’ in the work and business environment.

This advised was given by Wale Adediran, president/chairman of council, CIPM at the 39th induction ceremony held virtually. A total of 672 HR practitioners were inducted with 163 through the HR practitioners’ route while 509 were inducted through professional examinations’ route.

According to Adediran, HR professionals must have a good grasp of change management principles and must effectively prepare for and address the potential impacts of change.

“HR professionals and business leaders all over the world are faced with daily unprecedented contexts and situations requiring new learning and approaches because we just do not know it all, and we are not always able to grasp in the short space of a moment, everything that this increasingly VUCA world brings,” said Adediran.
