The Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority (QFCRA) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) have entered into an agreement to promote human resource (HR) development and create access to the highest levels of accreditation for HR professionals.
The partnership with CIPD helps QFCRA staff keep abreast of latest thought leadership in HR to support their ongoing professional development and enables them to pursue individual CIPD certifications to achieve associate, chartered member, or chartered fellow levels.
The partnership also gives them access to the best international practices in the areas of HR strategies, effective talent management, and result-oriented learning and development.
Reaching chartered membership of CIPD is a significant career milestone for HR professionals and it is widely recognised by employers as a statement of the highest level of expertise and professionalism in the areas of HR and learning and development.
The agreement was signed by Eisa Ahmed Abdulla, chief operating officer of the QFCRA and Matthew Mee, Middle East managing director of CIPD.
“At the QFCRA, our people are our greatest asset and this strategic partnership with CIPD underscores our desire to continue the focused development of our staff and to ensure that our organisation reflects best international practice in human resources and learning and development,” Abdulla said.
Achieving CIPD accreditation for its staff would not only improve the organisation but also create significant additional career opportunities for them, he said.
“The CIPD’s aspiration is to develop long-term partnerships with human resource functions to help raise professional standards in HR and people development in Qatar and across the region,” according to Mee.
