KARACHI – September 25, 2013: The Pakistan Society for Human Resource Management (PSHRM) in collaboration with the Pakistan Society of Training and Development (PSTD) joined forces to launch a rather unique platform in the form of an HR Boot Camp.

In today’s world, it is imperative for organizations to become more adaptive, resilient and customer-centered and to achieve this HR professional must also be flexible and solution oriented. The boot-camp has been designed to develop these cognitive and personality traits amongst the participants.”
