Organised for the fourth consecutive year by the nation’s leader in human resource management – IPM Sri Lanka, The Great HR Quiz is an extremely popular event amongst the HR fraternity in Sri Lanka.

A large number of IPM members, IPM Council Members, faculty, staff and special invitees were also present at the event.

“64 teams representing a wide cross section of blue chips and multinationals participated in this year’s Great HR Quiz.

IPM Sri Lanka’s innovative concept of the Great HR Quiz has been endorsed by the Asia Pacific Federation of Human Resource Management (APFHRM) as an ideal platform for sharing HR knowledge and best practices amongst the HR fraternity. Consequent to this endorsement, the three national HR bodies of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have also decided to stage their own Great HR Quizzes in their respective countries.
