Executive Director
The Q1 edition of our magazine focused on the critical theme of “Human-Centric Leadership in the Digital Age.” As we move forward into 2025, this theme highlights a vital balance in our profession—leveraging digital innovation while preserving the essential values of human connection, empathy and authentic leadership.
In this edition, we delve into the strategies and insights that will equip HR professionals to navigate this complex landscape. You will find articles exploring innovative approaches to fostering employee engagement in virtual environments, leveraging technology to enhance diversity and inclusion, and developing leadership skills that prioritise both digital fluency and emotional intelligence.
This focus aligns perfectly with our commitment to expanding Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities, offering you cutting-edge knowledge and transformative tools to excel in tomorrow’s HR challenges. We believe that by exploring topics such as those presented in this magazine, we empower HR leaders to not only adapt to the digital age but to shape it with a human touch.
As we build upon the foundation laid in 2024, including the launch of our Strategic Plan 2023-2027, this magazine serves as a key resource in our collective journey towards a more impactful and innovative HR profession in 2025. It is designed to complement our ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with the HRMP Act and advance strategic legislative reforms.
I encourage you to fully engage with the content of this magazine to reflect on its implications for your practice and to share your insights with your colleagues. Thank you for your continued dedication to elevating the HR profession.
