Standard cited in the draft HR

Professional Practice Standards

document has been clearly articulated. It

is simple and easy to understand. Well

done!”Sithabiso Mabaso, Talent Acquisition & Compliance Manager: National

Health Laboratory Service

• “This has been an amazing journey on

a personal and professional

development point of view. Being part

of the birth of such an amazing process

that will change the face of the HR

fraternity in the country was an honour

indeed.”Zanele le Roux, HR Executive: Aon Bonfield

International feedback

“Congratulations to you all on the excellent progress made in bringing to

fruition the National HR Framework (with identified elements) and now the

launch of specific HR professional practices.

By recognising the inter-relatedness of HR Standards used for different

purposes you are able to tackle the task of integrating HR standards in a

holistic way.

The suggested methodology, using self-assessment before graduating to

external validation reflects the maturity pathway required for this exercise

to be ultimately successful.

Well done and keep up the good work!”

Dr Chris Andrews, Director: HR, Bond University
