We have a long history of facilitating, growing, and sharing HR research. This is through our HR Research Initiative and various academic and industry partners. We develop and foster the partnerships and ecosystem for HR research by continually bridging academia and industry, showcasing and making accessible research to HR practitioners and industry broadly, and ensuring the people profession remains relevant. This aims to make the body of HR knowledge accessible, relevant, and rigorous.

The HRM System Standards Model, that was developed by the SABPP in consultation with the broader HR community,

codifies the body of HR knowledge and provides a shared and standardised vocabulary and framework.
