FROM THE PR DESK
Compliments of the new season to you hoping you all had a wonderful
break. Welcome to the new year and here is our first issue of the IPMZ
e-newsletter for 2014. As an Institute we promise to be at your service
and are open to ideas, comments, and criticism from you our members.
In our quest to remain relevant we shall be posing a probing question
on each Issue so as to generate debate amongst HR practitioners. Our
question for this first Issue would be: “What is it that you would like
IPMZ to pursue in 2014?” Email your feedback to [email protected].

with so many challenges, let us as HR practitioners play our part.
