Leadercamp on-demand: Demystifying the 2024 HRCI(r) Exam Refresh
Back in 2018, HRCI unveiled updates to the PHR(r) and SPHR(r) exams and since then, so much has changed in the way we manage people and work. So, it's no surprise that the refreshed version of these exams took effect to enhance program alignment and streamlining terminology across the HRCI(r) exams. HRCI(r) created the HR Body of Knowledge(tm) (BoK(tm)) as a comprehensive framework of benchmark HR practices to help HR professionals align the critical organizational and HR competences to meet the ever-changing demands of the HR profession. This is also the foundation for HRCI(r)'s certification exams which are developed through a systematic, practice analysis study and communicated through Exam Content Outlines (ECO). The 2024 PHR(r) and SPHR(r) exams will incorporate many of the changes HR leaders manage on a daily basis as effective partners with the business. The new updates include the acceleration in systems and software; ChatGPT and generative AI; increased emphasis on DEI; new laws on family and medical leave, pay equity and transparency, and pregnant workers' rights; non-compete clauses, and much more. Join us in this Leadercamp to learn more about the exam changes and acquire valuable insights.
