HR Business Leaders Forum
To meet the needs of the senior level HR business leaders practising in our communities we have created HR Business Leaders groups in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. These groups are made up of mainly HRINZ members and certain criteria must be met to belong. To find out more about the HR Business Leaders forum and to check out the criteria click here.
Representation
HRINZ is a non-political organisation, but it seeks to make its voice heard on issues which affect the professional practice of human resources management and development.
Research and Publications Fund
HRINZ has established a Research and Publications fund to encourage, support and provide financial assistance for research into and publication of work about the practice of human resources management and development in New Zealand. The fund is available to anyone who may be seeking assistance with research or the publication of information that meets this criteria.
Access to the fund is via the institute’s Research and Publications Committee, which will scrutinize applications and make a final decision about the request. Applications can be made to the Committee, in no prescribed form, by email to researcher@hrinz.org.nz
International
HRINZ belongs to the Asia Pacific Federation for Human Resource Management and the World Federation of Personnel Management Associations, and has close links with professional institutes around the world. Introductions can be provided for members seeking information or contacts in other countries, or HRINZ can make enquiries on your behalf.
Professional Practice
HRINZ encourages members who think they have the required level of skills and knowledge and experience to apply for professional membership of the Institute. Once achieved, professional members may use the letters MHRINZ (generalist) or SHRINZ (specialist) after their names - providing a recognisable symbol that your professional competence has been acknowledged by your peers.

One of the strategic alliances which HRINZ currently works with is the Wellington Regional Professional Partnership Network. A group of professional associations regularly get together informally to share information and opportunities for their joint membership.
