Prof Karel Stanz, Head of the Department of Human Resource Management, was elected as board member of the  South African Board for People Practice (SABPP) for the period 2016 to 2018.
 
An overwhelming national interest in the SABPP elections resulted in a new record of 49 nominations in 2015.  Being elected out of this large pool of senior human resource professionals throughout the country is therefore a major achievement.

Mr Marius Meyer, CEO of the SABPP, says that the strategic insight which Prof Stanz can provide, coupled with his commitment to governance, could play a significant role in advancing the HR profession nationally.
 
The SABPP is an autonomous and professional registration body for the HR profession. Over the 30 years since its inception, the SABPP has registered more than 8 000 HR professionals at the various registration levels.
