Senior Professional In Human Resources

In this course you will learn about the five functional areas, Business Management and Strategy, Workforce Planning and Employment, Human Resource Development, Compensation and Benefits, Employee and Labor Relations and Risk Management, that will prepare you for the Senior Professional Human Resources (SPHR) exam. The SPHR exam, or the SHRM-SCP exam, is critical if you are wanting to move up in Human Resources, as it measures your strategic ability and your ability to join HR processes into the big picture of the organization. If you are already working in HR, this course will prepare you to move into higher levels such as becoming an HR Manager. Alternatively, if you've been out of HR for a while, this course will help refresh and prepare you to re-enter the field.
