The program commenced on 15 May 2026, welcoming a dynamic group of HR professionals and organisational leaders embarking on a transformative learning journey focused on strengthening HRD auditing capabilities and strategic HR impact.

“As organisations increasingly prioritise governance, culture transformation, leadership capability, and sustainable performance, the need for a strong internal HR audit capability has become more critical than ever. The Certified HRD Auditor Programme, therefore, serves as a timely and impactful initiative in developing future-ready HR professionals equipped to drive strategic organisational transformation,” said Chief Lead Facilitator Prof. T.

Structured as a comprehensive 05-day certification programme, the first three physical sessions were successfully conducted from 15 to 17 May 2026 at the CIPM Members Lounge, followed by two online learning and assessment sessions.

The program provided participants with extensive exposure to internationally recognised HRD audit frameworks and strategic HR practices, including HRD Systems and Subsystems, Performance Management Audits, HR Competencies and Leadership Capability, Organisational Climate and HRD Culture, HR Impact and Strategic Alignment, HRD Scorecard Frameworks, Diagnostic Audit Methodologies, and Strategic HR Evaluation and Governance.

Participants also engaged in practical learning through case studies, group discussions, presentations, audit tools, and real-world HRD audit applications that enhanced their professional capability in evaluating organisational HR effectiveness.

A key highlight of the program was the active engagement, collaboration, and enthusiasm demonstrated by all participants throughout the sessions, creating a highly interactive and practical learning environment focused on organisational excellence, people effectiveness, and strategic business impact.

Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be awarded joint certification by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management Sri Lanka and T V Rao Learning Systems, recognising their successful completion of this internationally benchmarked professional certification program.
