Hey,

If wanting to move up in the HR Realm, which would be the better certificate? PHR or SHRM?
I am wanting to advance in Talent Acquisition and program management. I am looking for insight as to which would be the better path.

Hi All, I’m thinking about getting certified in change management but not sure if I should go the Prosci route or CCMP route. CCMP is a lot cheaper compared to Prosci but would it measure up just the same?

I guess it would be similar to the discussion of the SHRM-SCP vs SPHR.

I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate. This individual has a doctorate in business with a focus in HR, her SPHR, Federal, and private sector experience at the singer level, and has a fabulous personality. I’m curious is anyone else having difficulties play some candidates like this? At this point I’m starting to think it’s racial or her sex based of the lack of interest in this candidate. Any thoughts?

First time poster here!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

Almost 24 years of experience and not being compensated for work load which is causing me to lose daily motivation. Spoke to boss and HR about increase it keeps getting blown off. I’m currently looking for a career change making 6 figures but drawing a blank. Any insight would be appreciated

How expensive was your undergrad degree? I had to pay my own way and went to a state school and only ended with 25k of student loans which I think was completely worth it. Have friends in similar situations that went out of state and ended up with 100k of loans, which I think they were completely ripped off. This is in Georgia which heavily incentivizes staying in state. Not sure if other states are similar?

Any advice for a first time soon to be assistant bank branch manager?

Any carnivore or primarily meat based eaters here?

I was kicking around a start-up idea with a friend, to create a clean and simple tool for project status updates. Something that automates chasing updates and gives a little steer around what to write/ include in the update.

Not sure if there would be enough demand for it though!?

As creative directors, have you ever had a client that you just wished you could cut ties with? They're bringing in some money but their attitude is beyond abhorrent.

Client I’m on is a nightmare for creatives. A campaign we’ve worked on for a year was just cancelled for no good reason. Happens constantly. Are we all in a doomed profession? Was it always this way?

I am looking for a personality assessment to match our current call center employees to our current call center managers to optimize employee-manager relations, production, and decrease turnover. Does anyone have any recommendations for this type of process and assessment?

What are you telling your employees about the payroll tax deferral? I’m hesitant to communicate anything because the information has been vague. After reviewing SHRM's document (linked in comments) it seems best to just opt out and share that with the company. What have you all shared with your teams, if anything, about it?

Hoping to get my PHR in the next year or so. Outside of employer reimbursement, are there other opportunities for this to get funded? I know SHRM Foundation offers scholarships for the CP, but I am looking for PHR specific help. Thank you! :)

Fellow HR Professionals,

Curious to know how you are handling current inflation rates versus 3% merit increases. Are you adjusting merit increases for inflation? If not, how are you handling those conversations?

Anybody who has felt maxed out in recruitment? What do you do? Do you try other industries first but stay in recruitment or do you try to change positions with more diversity of tasks? I now feel that everything I do is the same old, and although they say I am doing a good job, it is also a constant stress daily for applicants not showing up, failing pre-employment requirements, etc and I wonder if this is also present in other areas of HR.

I’m looking for alternatives to the big survey companies like Mercer. From time to time I need data (for example on vehicle allowances) but I can’t pay $1,000 for one report or $30k for all the data. My company and budget are just too small. Does anyone have some smaller, less expensive options they turn to? I’m willing to pay but Mercer prices. Thanks!!

I already have the SHRM-SCP. . would it be a value add to go for the SPHR as well?

Are there any companies in the cyber/security space who offer paid military leave?

What are the standard fees for outsourcing consultancy work?
I've been working with a newly established consultancy business. Until now I've been paid day rates or project rates.
I've been invited to lead, build and manage the HR consultancy.
What are reasonable fee structures?
1. If they source work and give it to me to complete, what is a fair percentage?
2. If I source work and complete it, what should I 'pay' them given that it's under their 'brand'?

Any suggestions for continuing to sharpen my skills as a recruiter when there's no TA manager and no "mentorship" in the company? I'm a 1-man recruiting team and the rest of the HR team is not as knowledgeable in the scope of recruiting.

Thank you!

What would you do if you found out an executive was speaking poorly about you and your work performance to other employees? Is this a case where you would get HR involved? Have a conversation with the individual? Let it go? The comments are confirmed to have happened at an event that the offended party was planning/running, and the exec said negative comments to two other people at the company about the event and their work, and also said the person looked “too stressed.”
