INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES DAY 2026

Empowering People to Lead Change

A day to honour our profession and HR people. It’s a day to reflect on the impact and contribution of HR Professionals within our organisation and each person working there.

This year’s theme, “Empowering People to Lead Change”, reflects the evolving role of HR in a world of rapid technological advancement and changing workforce expectations, where HR Professionals must play a central role in helping people lead change rather than simply respond to it.

On this occasion, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to all HR professionals for their dedication, professionalism and continuous contribution and support to the HR Community.

And remember that beyond everything else we do, we are the heart pumping energy to everyone else. So today is also a reminder to take care of yourself and enjoy this day.

Happy International HR Day!

On behalf of Maria Georgiou – President of CyHRMA Board of Directors

Today, we celebrate International HR Day 🎉

We recognize the dedication, empathy, resilience and impact of HR professionals across Cyprus and around the world. Their invaluable contribution in creating workplaces where people can grow and succeed.

Behind every strong workplace is a team of HR professionals making a meaningful impact every day; and today is dedicated to them🙌

A huge thank you to all HR professionals who empower people to lead change ✨
