HRCP Blog

Apparently, I brought back more than memories from the SHRM conference in Chicago. I also returned with a nasty case of pneumonia. My advice: don’t get pneumonia. And if you do get it, at least get it at a sensible time. NOT in the middle of summer vacation.

While I have had to back off my usual activities the past several weeks, I’m aware that many people are suffering from another kind of slowdown, an economic one. With all the hand-wringing and belt-tightening that goes on during times of economic uncertainty, there is often a surge in the number of HR professionals investing in certification. HR people know better than anyone the toll an economic slowdown can take on employment. Employees need to do everything they can to be more competitive in a tightening labor market. For HR professionals, that may mean becoming certified. There are nearly 100,000 human resource managers who currently hold PHR or SPHR certification. To compete, you’ve got to have a set of those letters after your name.

HRCP can help you prepare for your certification exam with quality, comprehensive materials at a reasonable price. And to help a little more during these tough economic times, we’ll give you $25 off the price of the complete HRCP Program if you order before the end of August and use the discount code SUMMER.

Best of luck!
