SHRM vs HRCI? I haven’t heard as much on HRCI HR Management certification. Do people ever get both? Does help to even have the certification from HRCI?

Unpopular HR Opinion: Not every employee needs a development plan focused on promotion. Do you agree, or should every employee be working toward the next level?

The CEO I work for is so ridiculous. His latest thing is freaking out when someone takes their birthday off. He thinks it's childish for someone to want to take their birthday off. I can't figure out why he would care about the reason behind people using their PTO. I've started changing the reason people request off in our system so the CEO can't see when someone takes their birthday off. Could you imagine working for someone this miserable?

Exit interviews have been sitting heavily with me lately. Someone can say they are leaving for “a new opportunity,” but when you listen properly, it is often culture, favouritism, poor management, or just feeling worn down. Are we asking leavers the right questions, or just collecting polite answers?

Is anyone's organization planning on adding GLPs to your healthcare coverage? I've had several employees ask me if we can change our plan to include these weight loss drugs, but I'm not sure this is something I want to bring to the CEO. Are employers really going to be expected to cover weight loss supplements going forward? Where will it stop? What about diet pills and other "miracle" drugs?

Many people view HR less as an "employee advocate" and more as a function that balances employee concerns against the organization's goals and risks. When are the employees going to have a department that looks out for their best interest and not throw them under the bus?

That’s what I’ve heard too. HRCI is more legal and technically heavy on the HR side. HRCI is much older as an org as well because SHRM was the new certification that came out of the divorce of the two groups several years ago. I have HRCI cert and I wouldn’t spend any of my money on a SHRM certification too because HRCI covers all of those bases and is more credible
From what I understand, HRCI is more in-depth, so it's a level up from SHRM. Both are valuable, but if you have to get one, I'd go with SHRM because it's more widely recognized.
HRCI was the original method of HR certification. Then SHRM split from them and created their own method. I find SHRM to be easier at recertification than HRCI.
I have both. HRCI has been around much longer and is probably more well known overall but SHRM is a good one as well. Whichever one you go with - get a certificate.
I researched them both and went with HRCI because I believe they have more credibility, though SHRM tends to be more popular. I have my SPHR and I appreciate the recertification process as it helps keep my skills sharp. I hear the HRCI exams are a bit harder. I studied independently for two months and passed on the first try. I don’t think both are necessary unless you start with the PHR or SHRM and want to level up to Senior down the road. I suggest you go for the Senior level first, if you feel confident. One hitter quitter!
