Conclusion

The 2013 report emphasises key strategic initiatives

and a stronger focus on improved impact, visibility

and governance. The new strategy HR Voice will

require more focus on the continuous strategic

transformation of SABPP. Major projects are

planned for 2014 and clear capacity-building and

action plans will be developed to execute the

strategy.

Thank you for your support with the HR standards.

Let us continue to build a profession we can be

proud of in years to come.
