With HR Campus, the Swiss HR Academy has brought a leading Swiss HR consultancy on board, thereby gaining innovative strength from the world of practice. The aim of this cooperation is to jointly establish a strong HR ecosystem that offers a focused HR seminar programme including a university of applied sciences option and promotes the exchange of knowledge and best practice in the Swiss HR community. The Swiss HR Academy is now run as a joint venture between the HWZ University of Applied Sciences in Business Administration Zurich and HR Campus. It is supported by the ZGP Zürcher Gesellschaft für Personalmanagement as a network partner.
"With the strong partner HR Campus and its many years of HR expertise, the Swiss HR Academy is gaining access to additional HR decision-makers and expanding its range of seminars in the area of integral HR management solutions," emphasises Prof. Matthias Rüegg, Rector of the HWZ and founding partner of the joint venture.
HR Campus aims to improve the transfer of practical HR expertise, the promotion of open knowledge and the exchange of experience within the Swiss HR community. "Our vision is to inspire HR professionals for people-centred HR and to equip them with the necessary tools and skills to implement this. Our participation in the Swiss HR Academy brings us one step closer to this goal," says Philippe Dutkiewicz, member of the HR Campus Executive Board.
The Swiss HR Academy imparts the latest HR know-how, the content of which is largely supported and supplemented by the HWZ competence centres and the founding and network partner ZGP. It was able to establish itself on the Swiss seminar market within a year. Its range of seminars was immediately and successfully virtualised in 2020: "The current challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have shown that a hybrid offering of attractive topics, including regulations for working from home or remotely, supports companies quickly and easily in their organisational transformation," says Dr Daniel C. Schmid, Managing Director of the Swiss HR Academy.
