Through everything we do, we aim to positively influence individuals’ lives and careers, inspire organisations and contribute to a better South Africa.
How do I get involved if...
...I am a CHRO
All CHROs in South Africa are actively invited to our regular face-to-face events like CHRO Day and the CHRO Awards, and online discussions like the bimonthly CHRO SA Community Conversations. Send an email to community manager Sungula Nkabinde ([email protected]) to be added to the invitation list, and you will also start receiving your personal copy of CHRO Magazine. There is no cost involved!
As a CHRO, you will also receive invitations to exclusive dinners and we may approach you to share your insights with the wider HR community through webinars, podcasts or an interview on CHRO.co.za.
If you want two of your direct reports to benefit from the incredible power of the CHRO Community as well, you can sign up for a corporate membership.
...I am an HR professional
All HR professionals are invited to sign up for the popular biweekly CHRO.co.za newsletter, full of interviews, insights and information about upcoming events.
...I offer a service or solution to CHROs and HR teams

Culture
At CHRO South Africa, we are extreme about the pursuit of honesty, kindness, fun and finding solutions with a ‘can do’ attitude. We bring our whole selves to work, create a safe space for a diversity of minds and strive to discover and develop the unique talents of every individual. We love and aspire to do new things, realising that this means we’ll make mistakes – which we’ll fix and learn from together. We work hard, have each other’s backs and aspire to be the world’s best listeners – to our communities, our partners and each other.
Roots
CHRO South Africa’s parent company CFO Enterprises SA was founded in 2011 by the late Alex van Groningen, an indomitable entrepreneur and maverick business builder. The purpose and the culture of the organisation are grounded in his relentless love for South Africa, his enthusiasm for communities and his keen eye for creating value for corporate partners.
