What started as a global initiative to honor the unsung work of human resources professionals has grown into a beloved annual community gathering in Grenada, thanks to the dedication of a local HR consultancy.
International HR Day was first established back in 2019 by the European Association of People Management (EAPM), created with a clear, enduring mission: to formally recognize and celebrate the critical contributions that HR and people professionals make to workplaces and industries across the globe. It took until 2023 for the initiative to capture the attention of Grenada-based J’s HR Consultancy, which immediately recognized it as a valuable opportunity to shine a spotlight on the vital work done by local HR practitioners across the Caribbean island nation.
After embracing the project in 2023, the consultancy launched its first virtual celebration of International HR Day in 2024, followed by a second gathering in 2025. Both events succeeded in sparking widespread enthusiasm across Grenada’s HR community, drawing 30 to 40 practicing professionals to each session. Following both events, attendee feedback consistently reflected a strong demand for more regular networking and recognition opportunities for the island’s HR sector.
Building on that momentum, J’s HR Consultancy has announced its third annual virtual International HR Day event, scheduled to take place via Zoom on May 20 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. local time. The free event is supported by Grenada’s growing local HR community, and will feature a lineup of special programming designed to honor and inspire local practitioners. Attendees will hear motivational keynote messages from some of Grenada’s most prominent local business leaders, and will receive special greetings from two cross-regional HR leadership figures: the President of the Human Resource Management Association of Guyana, and the President of the Association of HRM Professionals of St Lucia.
Beyond professional insights, the event will also offer attendees space to relax, connect with peers, and reflect on their work over the past year, with several attractive raffle prizes up for grabs. J’s HR Consultancy has credited a diverse group of local corporate and community sponsors for making the event and its giveaways possible, including Women’s Haven, Caulco Inc – Cauls Food Store, Belmont Estate, True Blue Bay Boutique Resort, McIntyre Bros Ltd, ACADO Grenada, and NOW Grenada.
As the event date approaches, J’s HR Consultancy founder and lead consultant Janel Jeremiah encouraged HR professionals across Grenada to prioritize their own professional growth, and to continue driving positive change within their organizations even amid ongoing industry challenges. The consultancy is also inviting local employers to partner with the organization to help make this year’s International HR Day celebration a memorable experience for all HR and people professionals across the country.
