Continued education after HR certification
Industry-specific certifications are a tremendous asset to your resume and expand your professional network. Many employers seek out certified candidates because they value the expertise and advantages that accompany certification. HR recertification courses help you update HR knowledge base and be more efficient in your HR role. Achieving and maintaining certifications shows employers that you’re motivated and passionate about your work.
Many HR certifications, such as HR Certification Institute® (HRCI®) and SHRM certifications, are only valid for set number of years.
As mentioned, policy and technology are constantly updated. Continued education and recertification can help ensure you don’t fall behind and provide the best possible service to your colleagues and business.
