The Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management (Chinese: 香港人力資源管理學會), previously named the Hong Kong Institute of Personnel Management, was found in February 1977. It was originated from the personnel management club of the Hong Kong Management Association. It is a professional body aiming to enhance the professionalism of HR sector in Hong Kong. Mr David Li Ching Ming is the current President elected in the Annual General Meeting in 2014.

History
1977- 1990s In 1978, the first two-day Annual Conference was held. In 1991, it formed IPM Manpower International Ltd, a partnership between the Government and HSBC, to attract Hong Kong emigrants in Canada and overseas students back to Hong Kong. In 1992, the Hong Kong Society for Training and Development became part of HKIPM. In the same year, HKIPM facilitated a delegation from Taiwan to visit China, for the first time enabling a &ldquo;tri-partite&rdquo; dialogue between HR professionals in the Greater China region to happen. In October 1994, the Institute renamed the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management (HKIHRM). In 1996, the Institute hosted the World Congress on Personnel Management. Over 1,200 delegates from over 48 countries attended the 2-day event.

21st Century and Beyond To serve the mounting demand for market data and information, best practice sharing and new ideas and structured knowledge, it has turned its website in phases into a resource centre for sharing knowledge and information as well as an interactive platform for collecting members&rsquo; views and exchange of opinions. In 2000, it published &ldquo;News Digest&rdquo; – a daily e-summary of HR related news (now daily e-newsletter) and professional monthly journal People Today (now Human Resources). In the same year, it also conducted Training Needs Analysis Survey (now Training Needs Survey). In 2004, it joined hand with Worldwide ERC&reg; to launch the Global Mobility Specialist (GMSTM) Programme.

Organisation Structure
It is governed by the Executive Council under which 14 committees and taskforces were formed. The secretariat office is mainly responsible for daily operation of the Institute.
