Leaves of Absence and Workers' Compensation (17%)

HR certifications are awarded to those HR professionals who have met the required work experience and level of training of the credentialing organization. Once professionals receive certifications, they can use the credentialed status by adding relevant initials like PHR (Professional in Human Resource) or SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resource) after their names to remind the public of the specialized set of skills the letters represent.

Our HRCI study guides will help you prepare for your certification exam.
