LEADERSHIP ACCELERATION PROGRAMME SERIES 1/2026: HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

Leadership Acceleration Programme Series

GOMBAK, March 30 – The IIUM Leadership Centre (ILC) successfully conducted the first instalment of the Leadership Acceleration Programme Series 1/2026 at the Alumni Lounge. This inaugural session focused on the critical theme of Human Resource Management and Development.

Developed in response to evolving organisational needs, the programme specifically targets administrative and technical officers currently serving in acting positions at Grade 12 and 13. The initiative aims to equip these officers with the necessary competencies to assume higher leadership roles, supporting the University’s long-term talent sustainability and the building of a strong internal leadership pipeline.

The first series featured topics / modules led by the following officers from the Management Services Division (MSD):

  • Human Resource Management and Current Issues: Madam Asnili Marniwati Ahmad (Deputy Director, Policy and Service)
  • APAR (Annual Performance Appraisal Report): Sr Abazazilah Mohd Abbas (Senior Assistant Director)
  • Staff Welfare: Sr Khairunnisa Md Nizar (Assistant Director)
  • Job Description (JD) and Competency: Sr Siti Safiyah Awang Kechik (Assistant Director)

To ensure the effectiveness of the training, participants underwent pre and post-tests during the session to track immediate learning outcomes.

As part of the programme’s rigorous structure, participants are required to attend all thematic series. Upon the completion of the third and final series, a comprehensive test will be conducted to measure the overall competency enhancement level of the attendees. The results of this final assessment will serve as a key tool for the University to measure performance in self-development, forming part of the criteria for the confirmation of promotion.

The successful completion of this first series underscores the ILC’s commitment to nurturing high-potential staff. By providing structured training in governance and human resources, the ILC ensures that the University’s future leaders are well-prepared to contribute to institutional excellence.
