When I was promoted into HR, I realized I needed a blueprint of my career path and to validate my ability to make decisions. My HR certification does just that. While organizations are downsizing and retaining their best talent, I remain confident in my SPHR-CA.

My ultimate career goal was to lead a global HR organization. After earning the GPHR, I became Director of Human Resources for an international organization and soon after promoted to Vice President. I know I would not have gotten this far without my GPHR.
