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?
4 Reasons Getting HR Cert Is Your Next Best Step
Job Opportunities. According to softwareadvice.com, “42% of companies noted that an HR certification was either preferred or required.”
More Money. $$! According to Payscale, “with the exception of the aPHR, all certification types led to a boost in pay for those who have it.”
Promotions! Career Development! 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.” In this [HR assistant] entry- level role, 82% report they have been promoted in the last 5 years versus just 68% of those who aren't certified." At the HR Director level, HR credentials increase the chances of promotion by 25%.
Gain the knowledge, confidence and proof of your expertise. While preparing for the HR cert exam, you'll be studying and gaining all that HR knowledge to excel in HR. Once you pass the exam, you'll not only feel the confidence in yourself, but you'll have the proof of your expertise.

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.
