Major Changes In Respect Of Registration Of Human Resource Management Practitioners

The Zambia Institute of Human Resource Management Act No. 3 of 2022 (the "HR Act") was enacted by the Zambian Parliament on 12 April 2022.

Its main objectives include, inter alia: continuing the existence of the Zambia Institute of Human Resources Management and rename it as the Zambia Institute of Human Resource Management (the "Institute"); repealing and replacing the Zambia Institute of Human Resources Management Act,1997; and to provide for the registration of human resource management practitioners ("Practitioners") and regulate their practice and professional conduct. This legal alert will focus on one of the major changes brought about by the Act in respect of registration of Practitioners and prohibition of employing Practitioners not registered by the Institute under the Act.
