CIPM is the apex regulatory organisation for the practice of HR in Nigeria.

According to the CIPM, the HR Best Practice Awards were established in 2012 to promote excellence in people management and organisational development. Another objective of the Awards was to celebrate professionals who strive to implement and embed best-in-class HR practices in their organisations. Key metrics for selecting the Award winners include demonstrated proof of positive business impact based on change, initiative, programme or process improvement.

 

The CIPM International Conference and Exhibitions is the largest gathering of HR professionals in Africa. The 2022 event was attended by over 3000 practitioners from across the continent.
