The Value of HR Certification – Weekly Update

Ken Meyer, SHRM-SCP, SPHR | Principal, KWM HR Consulting LLC

I would like to talk today about HR Certification. As the President of New York City SHRM, I am honored to witness the transformational power that HR Certification can have on individuals and organizations alike.

Getting certified in HR is not an easy feat. It takes dedication, commitment, and a thirst for knowledge that drives you to continuously grow and learn. But the rewards of achieving this certification are truly immeasurable.

First and foremost, obtaining your HR certification demonstrates your expertise and mastery in the field of Human Resources. It shows your commitment to excellence and your dedication to being the best HR professional you can be. This certification is a symbol of your knowledge and competence, and it speaks volumes to potential employers and colleagues alike.

But beyond the professional benefits, getting certified in HR is a journey of personal growth and development. It challenges you to step out of your comfort zone, to think critically and creatively, and to continually expand your skill set. The knowledge you gain through this certification journey will not only benefit you in your career but in all aspects of your life.

So, my colleagues, I urge you to take the plunge and embark on this incredible journey. Do not let fear or doubt hold you back. Believe in yourself and trust that you have what it takes to succeed; and remember, you are not alone. New York City SHRM is here to support you every step of the way.

In closing, I leave you with this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Embrace the unknown; embrace the challenge; and go create your own path to success. Congratulations in advance on this exciting and rewarding journey.

Be well.
