In Search of Evidence

Becoming an Evidence-Based HR-Practitioner
Lastly, practicing EBHR ensures ongoing learning throughout your career, through
closer ties with research and researchers and with informed communities of EBHR
practitioners.
Evidence-informed decisions are part and parcel of professional practice. By making
evidence-based decisions, EBHR practitioners develop greater objectivity and balance in
their decisions. At the same time, academic researchers and educators too have an
important responsibility, developing a better understanding of the conditions of
practice and the critical knowledge and skills that support good professional practice.
In doing so, all manifest the responsibility and accountability that is the hallmark of any
profession.
