International Human Resource Day (2023)
May 20, is the International Human Resources Day and the theme for 2023 is "HR Shaping the New Future" which focuses on the role of HR as a profession in leading change to improve working lives. The HR practice has evolved from an administrative function to management and ushering in a new era of employee-centric work culture. Therefore, it is not about slipping back into traditional ways of thinking and working. It implies HR as leading a future that will be more inclusive, flexible, and participative so that workers, organizations, and society as a whole will benefit.
To mark this occasion, the Public Service Bureau held a ceremony for the HR staff in the public service and those who had over 20 years of service were recognised for their long service. We had the honour of the President of the Republic, Mr Wavel Ramkalawan attend the ceremony and who shared some wise words with the HR staff.
