Russian Holidays - Personnel Officer's Day

Since 2005, the National Union of Personnel Officers of Russia has proposed celebrating its professional holiday on May 24 The date was not chosen by chance - back in 1835, a special resolution was adopted in the Russian Empire regulating the relationship between the employer in the person of the owner of the factory and the employee entering there for hire This was facilitated by the industrial revolution of the 19th century, which changed the role of workers and contributed to the emergence of new specialists The holiday emphasizes the importance of the development of personnel management in Russia, although the very concept of “personnel officer” appeared in 1918 by a resolution of the Commissariat of Justice Therefore, October 12, first for career employees of internal affairs bodies, and then in other areas, also became widespread as a special day The National Union of Personnel Officers, registered in 2004, also has the abbreviation “VVK”, which means the All-Russian Personnel Congress, as it has been called since 2002 Its activities are supported by the ministries of Russia and are aimed at making proposals for improving legislation in the field of labor law The Union is appreciated by European colleagues - since 2006 it has been participating in the international association for personnel management The profession is quite in demand - even in a small company or organization there is a person responsible for working with personnel Almost half of the workers in this field are in the Moscow region The profession has many names for its specialists: personnel officer, recruitment or personnel management manager, recruiter, HR (HR manager) Conservatism and some routine have been lost: more and more young and active people are choosing this field, because it keeps pace with the times A modern HR manager may engage in hand-hunting or team building The 2016 professional standards for personnel officers, developed by the Ministry of Labor, will be able to somewhat streamline and regulate the range of responsibilities Do not question the importance of the work: complex and multifaceted, it plays its role in the development of the economy, education, various, and almost all, spheres of activity, because the human factor is the main one here There are more opportunities to train as a HR specialist; for continuous professional development - various seminars and trainings It is all the more valuable that you can gain and exchange additional experience through a joint celebration Conferences, congresses, competitions, and exhibitions held by interested parties are aimed at making the May 24 holiday more popular and interesting
