The EAPM is a founding member of the World Federation of People Management Associations (WFPMA). WFPMA is an organisation representing approximately 700,000 people professionals in over 95 national associations around the world.
Founded in 1976 by the European Association for People Management (EAPM), Interamerican Federation of Personnel Administration (FIDAP) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
Its six main objectives:
- To facilitate the improvement in the quality and effectiveness of professional people management to foster a positive impact on business results.
- To promote the importance of the HR role in all organisations, by sharing experiences and disseminating selected member best practices amongst member countries and federations.
- To stimulate and assist in the establishment and development of regional and national people management associations in those parts of the world where a continental or regional association does not exist.
- To create and maintain contacts and networks with all WFPMA member associations as well as with other organisations which have some activity in the same or similar field.
- To build relationships with international organisations to provide expert opinion and advise on people management practices.
- To commission or undertake research which will further broaden understanding of people issues.
