They achieve their goals and mission thanks to the events they host in the year to keep educating professionals.
They also have a SHRM certification preparation course. They state that the SHRM certifications “[…] are the only behavioral competency-based programs in the field”.
And that many HR executives recommend getting one, because it means that you’re well prepared to lead and that you care about your profession.
