<p><strong>Introduction</strong></p> <p>During the last year or so there has developed an increasing awareness among personnel functionaries in the SA Defence Force of a movement aimed at obtaining recognition of the professional status of the personnel function.</p> <p>Several members of the SADF have already applied for and been granted such recognition by the SA Board for Personnel Practice, a non-statutory body for the voluntary registration of personnel people who meet certain professional standards.</p> <p>Why have these people voluntarily subjected themselves to an assessment of their professional worth and what do they hope to gain from registration, from professional recognition?</p> <p>This paper attempts to answer those and certain other pertinent questions.</p>
