The Website is a result of a 12 months project in partnership with local IT firm \u2013 Brownsystech. The Website is a key component of the SHRI 2020 <strong><em>Engagement Strategy<\/em><\/strong> said the President. Since its official inception on 24 November 2018, the SHRI journey has been both challenging and rewarding in all respects. \u00a0People in our organisations continue to be predominantly considered as a controlled key cost component rather than a key potential investment for growth and this is the continuous challenge of the HR profession in Samoa, to shift this mindset so that people become a key component of any strategy for success. \u201cSince our launch, we have faced a Measles Epidemic and a COVID-19 Pandemic that had not only substantively impacted the implementation of the SHRI Strategic Plan, but challenged us all in the HR profession to consider new ways of working, and looking at the world and its people from new lenses,\u201d said Nonu. \u201cThe website is a response to the feedback from Members for an Online Self Help Service. This is now in place with the SHRI Website where Members can log on for assistance. It is aimed to be a One Stop Shop for Members on upcoming SHRI events as well as a key source of information for all essential HR matters, not only locally but in the regional and global arena,\u201d explained the President. \u201cEmbarking on the SHRI journey during these unprecedented times required commitment and hard work as well as a lot of faith, belief and passion. Rome was not built in a day. I would like to thank our Executive Committee and the Digital Inclusive &amp; Communications Committee (DICC) for the dedication and commitment to bring the SHRI Website to life particularly during this time where virtual meetings and online discussions are becoming the new norm. \u00a0It is also a testament of SHRI\u2019s commitment and support to its member engagement and ongoing professional development.\u201d Despite the challenges of the Measles Outbreak in Oct 2019 \u2013 February 2020 and the COVID 19 State of Emergency Restrictions from March 2020, the Executive Team and Sub Committees continued with progressing some key milestones and activities under its 5 Year Strategic Plan 2019 \u2013 2023 including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Train The Trainer \/ Developing HR Standards Training, <\/em><\/strong><strong>(17 \u2013 22 May 2021) by the Accreditation and Certification Committee (ACC).<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>HR Public Seminar \u2013 June 2021 \u2013 \u201cHR in times of Global Uncertainties like COVID 19\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The main challenge for SHRI is building its membership base.\u00a0 These types of capability building programmes in the HR field aim to attract and retain the interests and commitment of members, particularly in the appreciation of the HR profession in Samoa.\u00a0 The benefits are often not immediately visible and recognised but there must be an acceptance and a belief of the key role of HR in any organisation\u2019s strategy, which can only come about with a deep understanding and appreciation of what HR is about. \u201cWhilst many consider themselves HR professionals and practitioners, there is a recognised need to formalise HR standards as a profession for the development of Samoa, today and in the future \u2013 just like we see in other professions.\u201d Plans are already in the pipeline in 2021 for seeking donor funding assistance and support for SHRI\u2019s upcoming programmes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the Samoa Human Resources Institute (SHRI) that launched its website at its Annual General Meeting last Friday, 30th April 2021, at the ELISA Hotel.[\/caption] APIA, SAMOA \u2013 05 MAY 2021: President of the Samoa Human Resources Institute (SHRI), Afioga Nonu Lemauga Saleimoa Vaai acknowledges with gratitude the key Sponsors &#8211;
