Shamsher Farooq, Head of ER & HRBP Supply Chain at Unilever Pakistan Limited is working in a fast-paced dynamic organization with one of the most diverse product portfolios and delivering innovative HR solutions to meet the business challenges while putting end consumers at the center stage. He has done multiple business partnering roles that include, partnering a diverse sales team scattered across the country to partnering a manufacturing operation based at a remote site, shackled by legacy practices and a unionized culture. He has a master’s degree in HR from NUST Business School and has always had a strong belief that HR plays an indispensable role in creating value for the organization. His biggest strength has been agility; adapting to numerous diverse environments that helps him flex different skills. Shamsher has a depth of experience in labor relations and has unlocked capacity for the business by challenging the traditional way labor relations are practiced in the country to foster an ER environment which is more progressive, collaborative and solution-oriented.He said “ SHRM curriculum is holistic and emphasizes upon its learners to be functionally competent, business savvy and provide evidence-based HR solutions”. Essentially, pertaining to my job role, SHRM Certification addresses three key areas: 1) It provides the functional & business knowledge base to enable any HR leader/individual contributor to confidently provide solutions to its customers, 2) Provides a blended learning experience, 3) Builds credibility and appreciation for others who have a similar certification as earning this certification requires dedication and consistent effort. I totally recommend this Certification to fellow HR professionals.
