The Filipino Human Resources Practitioner’s Association – UAE (FHRPA – UAE), popularly known as FILHR, is a duly recognized Social Enterprise committed to advancing the career of Filipino HR practitioners in the UAE.
In November 2009, Sheryll Bacay approached some Filipino HR professionals in the UAE to form an innovative group that may positively influence the field of Human Resources in the country. In February 2010, the first meeting took place, and a team of five members was formed. Formal meetings then followed with a clear agenda of developing the organization’s vision and mission. The first version of the Association came to life as the Filipino HR Community UAE.
