We were set up by the tripartite partners: the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF).

We are the HR professional body in Singapore authorized to implement the national HR credentials, known as the IHRP Certification. Our goal is to set HR standards of excellence and enable human capital development in enterprises. Through the IHRP Certification, we aim to enhance the competencies of HR professionals and create developmental and professional pathways for them. This professionalises and strengthens HR practice in Singapore, allowing HR professionals to be key enablers in their organisations. Against the backdrop of rapid business disruption, organisations need to develop their human capital to be future-ready and thrive amid economic shifts. HR is the enabler that will help organisations rise to meet this challenge. But for it to be successful, HR must itself be future-ready. It must focus on maximising human capital and contribute to business growth. We aim to equip HR professionals and their organisations with progressive and forward-looking people practices to meet this challenge.
