Message From the President of MIHRM
Simon T. Benjamin
On behalf of the Malaysian Institute of Human Resource Management (MIHRM), I extend my warmest welcome to all visitors to our official website.
For nearly half a century, MIHRM has been the voice, the guide, and the professional home of Malaysia’s HR community. Despite unprecedented challenges, MIHRM has remained steadfast in fulfilling its mission.
Over the past four years, MIHRM has remained steadfast in its mission. We have scaled our training and certification reach, developed partnerships with universities and higher-learning institutes, industry, and continued to honour HR excellence through our national awards and events.
Despite pandemic disruptions, we pivoted quickly to hybrid delivery, strengthened governance, and launched strategic alliances that will drive HR innovation and foresight. Looking forward, our priorities are clear: to integrate professional credentials into academic programmes, modernise our certification frameworks for future roles, and equip HR professionals with data, digital, and leadership capabilities.
MIHRM has remained persistent in delivering on our mission. We expanded our certification and training programmes, equipping thousands of HR practitioners with skills aligned to Malaysia’s changing workforce needs. Most importantly, we embraced digital transformation and embedded future-focused topics such as HR technology, people analytics, and workforce foresight into our programmes.
Looking ahead, MIHRM is focused on strengthening global partnerships and creating pathways that connect academic learning with professional recognition.
I invite you to join us in this journey — to collaborate, learn, and grow together as we continue to shape the future of HR in Malaysia and beyond.
My thanks go to our members, partners, and staff — together we will lift Malaysia’s HR practice to world-class standards.
