A night to remember – RP receives awards at Singapore HR Awards 2009
It was indeed a night to remember for Republic Polytechnic (RP) at this year’s Singapore HR Awards ceremony on 3rd July 2009. Every year, Singapore Human Resource Institute (SHRI) organises this prestigious award ceremony to celebrate the success of leading organisations and HR professionals for their best human resource initiatives and practices. Held at Raffles City Convention Centre, the gala dinner was graced by
our Guest-of-Honour, Mrs Yu-Foo Yee Shoon,

and Sports.
This year, RP was conferred the Leading HR Practice Awards in 4 categories, namely Employee Relations and People Management, E-Human Resource Management, Quality Work-Life and Health and Employee Wellness. As an award recipient for the Leading HR Practices in Quality Work-life in 2006, 2008 and 2009, RP has earned herself the HR Advocate Award – Quality Work-Life.
