Hi fish! My goal is to pivot into the HR/Org space, either in consulting or in-house. I'm currently a consultant with lots of experience in Change Management, Learning & Development, and Change Analytics, but want to grow more in the HR, employee experience, leadership & culture spaces.

Any suggestions on how best to pivot? Do certifications (ex. PHR/SHRM) help? Any guidance is much appreciated!

Look for workforce transformation base projects. Something that gives you exposure on workforce strategy, talent planning, performance assessment, culture work etc. that will give you a strong base for overall HR/People and Culture teams kind of role.
Or even look at trends, studies by Gartner. Honestly I’m not fan of SHRM certification- it’s time bound and secondly provided on generalist hours.
