WHY CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT?

- The HR profession has experienced enormous

evolution, identity transformation and self-critique.

- HR professionals have had to support the

business needs of scale and rapid growth

- In the process, HR professionals have had to

work with radically changing business models, values

and philosophies as well as socio-cultural shifts and

resultant psychological deficits among employees

The challenge for HR professionals of today and tomorrow is

to meet the needs and expectations of business keeping in

mind the interest of employees.

To deal with these professional challenges and constantly

reinvent themselves, HR professionals need access to some

very high quality, holistic and comprehensive continuing

professional development support.

What is Continuing Professional Development?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the

conscious updating of professional knowledge and

the improvement of professional competence

throughout a person's working life. It is a

commitment to being professional, keeping

up-to-date and continuously seeking to improve. It is

the key to optimising a person's career

opportunities, both today and for the future.

The Chartered Institute of Professional

Development (2000)

With access to continuing professional development support, HR professionals will be able to find answers to critical questions like: - What is the specialist body of knowledge for my profession? - How do I carve a space and identity for myself among my peers? - How do I demonstrate value & make a strategic impact? - What are the professional values and standards that I should abide by? - How do I partner with business in an empathetic yet assertive manner? - Where do I turn to for my professional development?

OUR CREDO - THE HUMAN SIDE

What gives life to our profession is humanness – our work

with real people, their performance, potential, needs, motives

and aspirations. This shapes our values, represents our

know-how and in many ways is our professional foundation.

totus HR school is therefore deeply committed to retaining

the focus on humanness in all its endeavours. Our offerings

will pay attention to the scientific origins of psychology and

sociology and also emphasise the development of critical

human facilitation skills.

THE TOTUS HR SCHOOL ADVANTAGE

advantages:

1. Three clear stages of mastery in professional developmentTo help HR professionals take stock of their progress in their
