Le Cercle SIRH et Digital RH

What Le Cercle SIRH et Digital RH does

Le Cercle SIRH et Digital RH is a French non-profit professional association (loi 1901) founded in April 2007 by Gérard Piétrement, headquartered in Neuilly sur seine, that operates as the reference peer network for HRIS (Human Resources Information Systems) and Digital HR professionals in France. The association serves enterprise HRIS managers, HR directors, project managers, digital HR experts, consultants, and academic programs, with membership explicitly reserved for public and private sector organizations and excluding consulting firms and solution providers. Governance is provided by a 12-member bureau led by President Amandine Gerard-Deprez (Ernst & Young), with representation from member enterprises such as BPCE, Saint-Gobain, Pernod Ricard, Limagrain, Somfy, KNDS, arianeGROUP, SPIE, Bpifrance, and Manpower.

The association's offerings include a MOOC on HRIS/Digital RH (two seasons, 7 modules, 24 lessons), practitioner-authored publications (the 5th edition of "Le SIRH" published in 2025, "Le SIRH de demain en 100 questions", and "Les fiches outils du SIRH"), annual HRIS benchmark studies conducted since 2014 (covering CAC40/SBF120, public sector, international, and current affairs dimensions with 81 participating companies), in-person and virtual study days at Hôtel Édouard 7 in Paris (about 25 per year planned for 2026), workshops on major HRIS platforms (SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, Workday, TalentSoft) and HR processes, the annual Trophées SIRH awards program, and a confidential member space containing 194 documents. The association is also integrated with Le Réseau Digital et Performance RH (DPRH) since 2023, expanding the broader network to 151 member entities and 1,503 MOOC participants.

The business model is a subscription/membership model based on annual membership dues administered through the DPRH association, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is community-led via LinkedIn, email, study days, afterworks, and peer referrals; the organization does not generate revenue through product sales, advertising, or consulting services. Academic partnerships with IAE Montpellier, Institut Catholique de Paris, IGENSIA, and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne support talent pipeline development. In 2027, the association plans to introduce qualifying training programs (parcours de formation qualifiants) to complement existing study days and the MOOC, signaling a planned move toward credentialed education.
