Applying for Chartered Membership

In the last issue of Human Resources magazine Julia Stones (HRINZ National President) encouraged members to explore Chartered Membership. As Julia stated, Chartered Membership is about “providing yourself with the direction and understanding and opportunity to thrive in tomorrow’s workplace.”

HRINZ introduced Chartered Memberships in order to recognise the contribution and relevance of the human resources profession in the New Zealand workplace and to acknowledge their professional status of suitably qualified human resources practitioners.

We want you to become a Chartered Member and are committed to making it as stress free as possible for you. The following documents are recommended reading before you continue with your submission:

If gaps in the requisite skills, knowledge and experience are identified, you will be informed and given the opportunity to improve these to meet the necessary criteria for the category of Chartered Membership that you are applying for.
