European Association For People Management Eapm

The European Association for People Management (EAPM) was founded in 1962 and is an umbrella body for national HR and people management organisations representing HR and people professionals across 34 European countries. We share a commitment to the value of the people management profession and corresponding associations. This commitment is to support the development and performance of individuals, companies and societies. The EAPM is a purely professional, not-for-profit organisation independent of all employers, trade unions, state or political bodies. The EAPM seeks to promote and develop knowledge of personnel issues, personnel activities, and their importance to industry, commerce and both public and private sector administration. The EAPM pursues the goal of improving the quality of HR management and development and improving professional standards of practice. Our members are deeply and directly involved with the implementation of the reforms of labour markets and have to address issues of globalisation and an ageing population. EAPM promotes strong leadership and the exchange of best practises in Europe. EAPM is one of the regional members of the World Federation of People Management Associations (www.WFPMA.org).
