The CIPD and other HR regulating bodies need to permanently disbar any member found guilty of this. and for HR directors the the Judge should name them as "not fit and proper persons to be a director" and probably the CEO on Chairman for good measure.

Of course if the Hr director turned states evidence they might be let off with a slap on the wrist.

Wait, HR has the bar that you can be disbarred from? Thanks for expanding my horizons, I had no idea.

Its not like a PE or CENG but senior HR jobs often have CIPD qualified as a requirement. At the Director level you can be disbarred.

The CIPD is in the UK. The closest thing in the US is SHRM, which has the PHR/SPHR designations -- which are indeed often a requirement for senior HR positions (though I don't know that those designations have ever actually been revoked.)

should be if HR is to live up to it's pretensions about being a "profession".
