Wed, 11 Sep 2013The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and its counterpart in Australia have announced an agreement enabling mutual recognition for individuals holding corresponding professional grades of membership in either body.
The CIPD’s associate grade will be equivalent to being a professional member of Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI).
CIPD chartered membership is equivalent to being an AHRI certified professional, while chartered fellowship of the CIPD equates to AHRI fellowship.
The CIPD says that the agreement follows a rigorous mapping of the two sets of highly regarded professional standards and membership criteria, ensuring that the equivalent membership grades are matched.
CIPD chief executive officer Peter Cheese says: “By signing this mutual recognition agreement, we can assist employers to have confidence in the skills and capabilities of the HR and people development professionals they are hiring to meet these workplace challenges.
“We will also help our internationally mobile members to demonstrate their professionally accredited skills and capabilities, wherever in the world they are working.”
