The Egyptian Human Resource Management Association

The Egyptian Human Resource Management Association (EHRMA) was established on the first of October 2000 when the Association was licensed by the Ministry of Solidarity & Social Justice.

Until that time there had been many associations and publications devoted to Human Resource development – that side of the Human Resource profession that focuses upon the training of employees and managers in and for the workplace. But, forums where practicing Human Resource Managers could meet to learn and discuss trends and issues in Human Resource Management had yet to find a home. EHRMA is an attempt to build this house and to nurture it into a home where practicing Human Resource Managers can share ideas, problems and solutions and to support each other as they face an exciting but uncertain future.

The strategic plan of EHRMA describes a desired vision for the Association and what it will take to begin to achieve. It is based on a well-developed mission statement that will serve as the cornerstone of the foundation upon which EHRMA will be built.

MISSION

Why should EHRMA exist
