Why get HR Certified?

It's a powerful tool for career growth, such as promotions, higher salaries, knowledge, confidence, and recognition of your expertise.

How would your life be different?

What do you see at that finish line?

A promotion or salary increase

You’re trying to break into a career in HR. So you see a new job in a new area that you’ll love!

A new job at a different company

Being able to back up what your instincts already tell you!

The ability to demonstrate expertise and knowledge. Having the designation behind your name is PROOF of your expertise!

Feeling confident in your role and what you’re doing

Everyone has their own reasons!

From a 2018 HR Certification study by Payscale,

"the percent boost in pay associated with having an HR certification is 31.6 percent".

It also showed that median pay increased by 50% from a PHR to SPHR certification and 54% increased from SHRM-CP to SHRM-SCP certification. By getting an HR certification, you are proving your expert knowledge in the HR field.

HR certifications pay off. How will you learn that foundational HR knowledge and pass the exam?

3 Reasons Getting HR Cert Is Your Next Best Step

According to softwareadvice.com, “42% of companies noted that an HR certification was either preferred or required.”

According to Payscale, “with the exception of the aPHR, all certification types led to a boost in pay for those who have it.”

According to PayScale’s study, “Having an HR certification positively influences an HR pro’s chances of being promoted, and this holds true for every job level.” At the HR Director level, HR credentials increase the chances of promotion by 25%.

QUESTION

Alice is the HR Director at TechCo, a software start up. Her executive team has been pressuring her to create a plan to address retention. They’ve been hearing so much news about the Great Resignation, and they noticed that several key employees left the company. What is the first step Alice should do to address the executive team’s concerns?

Alice should immediately create a retention strategy to satisfy their concerns.

Alice should complete a turnover analysis, including reviewing the reasons, and calculate the turnover rate to understand what, if any, issues they have and why employees are leaving.

Alice should implement an employee survey to understand employees attitudes and opinions about the company.

Alice should conduct stay interviews with each employee.

See the Answer Here

B is the correct answer!

Before Alice takes action, she needs to understand and assess what is truly happening, using the data. She shouldn’t simply react to satisfy the executive team without understanding what is occurring. Employee surveys will help Alice understand employee engagement levels. Stay interviews help employers understand why an employee is still there at the company. Although they are both great tools, they are not the first step.

What Makes Us Different?

I am one of the very few instructors that have both the HR expertise and the deep understanding of the legal/compliance requirements as an attorney

We limit the class size because I want each student to personally interact with me

We reinforce learning and make it fun by constantly improving and gamifying the learning experience

What you are expected to know to pass the exam requires a broad range of HR knowledge and competency. The reality is many are best practices that only large companies can implement, such as Fortune 100 companies who have the expertise and resources. With a decade at two Fortune 100 companies, I bring my real world, hands-on experience actually implementing these best practices, not only the book knowledge.
