I’ve been asked a few times if getting SHRM and/or PHR certification is worth the cost and time investment. My answer differs every time someone asks this because it truly depends. Like many certifications, having an HR certification really just proves you can study for and pass a test. It doesn’t necessarily mean you would make a good HR leader. That said, if you’re trying to transition to an HR role from another function, it’s worth it to go for the certification for a couple reasons. It will increase your awareness of critical employment laws. You’ll never memorize all the ins and outs of every relevant law (not to mention they change all the time), BUT by studying for the certification test, it will ensure these laws will be on your radar, which means you’ll be aware enough to google things when your org might be subject to certain regulations. It’s on about every job description for HR professionals. If you’re new to the field, it’s going to be valued by hiring managers. Having an HR certification doesn’t really make you more qualified, but sometimes to get the job, you’ve got to play the game. Lastly, certifications are cheaper than additional degrees. We overvalue degrees in this country, and I know many times when someone is trying to transition to a new career, they’ll frequently go back to school for a “relevant degree.” Sometimes this might be the only path, or even the preferred path for an individual, but the reality is that in most fields, you can get a certification or take just a few classes to get the knowledge you need. I would certainly recommend an HR certification over someone going back to school for a bachelor or master’s in HR. All that said, I got my certification (both SHRM-SCP and SPHR), and I haven’t bothered to enter in credits needed for recertification. I attend plenty of webinars, read articles and newsletters, and listen to HR podcasts to stay up-to-date in my field, but I no longer feel the need to ensure there are letters behind my name to give me credibility - my experience will do that now in a way it didn't when I was less experienced.

Celebrating 5 Years as a Certified HR Professional Today marks 5 years since I became a practicing and certified HR professional. It has been an incredible journey filled with valuable lessons, inevitable failures, and exciting plans for the future. Lessons Learned : Over the past 5 years, I have learned the importance of empathy and active listening in understanding the needs of employees. Building strong relationships and fostering a positive work culture has been instrumental in driving organizational success. Additionally, I have gained insights into the significance of staying updated with labor laws and regulations to ensure fair and compliant practices within the workplace. Failures : Throughout my journey, I have encountered failures that have served as powerful learning experiences. One of the key failures was underestimating the impact of effective communication in resolving workplace conflicts. This taught me the significance of transparent and open communication channels to address issues proactively. Plans Ahead Looking ahead : I am committed to furthering my expertise in talent management and employee development. I aim to implement innovative strategies for recruitment and retention while prioritizing diversity and inclusion initiatives within the organization. Additionally, I plan to pursue advanced certifications to stay at the forefront of HR practices and contribute meaningfully to the growth of both employees and the company. Here’s to celebrating this milestone and embracing the opportunities that lie ahead! #hrcommunity #hrcareers #hrgeneralist
