NEW: New HR Certification & Survey
|
The SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) was unveiled last week by SHRM's CEO Hank Jackson.
For those trying to decide whether to go ahead and take the HRCI exam now, or wait for SHRM, we encourage you to move forward and sit for the HRCI exam. Never delay your own professional development. For those worried about recertification, professional development completed for recertification under HRCI will count towards recertification under SHRM's new credential as well.
Please take a few minutes to complete a survey regarding the new certification and how this will affect you. The survey will close on July 8th.
As always, please follow the links below from HRCI and SHRM regarding SHRM's announcement of a new HR certification.
PHRA will continue to update this information as it is made available.
