What SHRM is ?
Why We Hate HR
Why We Hate HR is an example of the call to action our profession has to continue to advance in order to meet the needs of society, organizations, and people now and in the future.
5
How did we get here?
Advancing the Profession
Part of this call to action is a paradigm shift in the certification of Human Resources Professionals. This is utilizing the underlying model of certification to encompass both the knowledge and behavioral competencies needed to meet the needs of HR’s stakeholders. Also, for being certified as demonstration of those qualifications as a predictor of performance. It is more than what HR knows but also what HR does in challenging organizational situations that determines performance.
6
How did we get here?
SHRM has always focused on making sure HR practitioners are seeking and attaining certification.
We are committed to ensuring that the certification our members achieve is recognized as best in class and distinguishes them in the marketplace.
This certification is the culmination of over three years of research, and based on the SHRM Competency Model, which was validated by more than 35,000 HR professionals around the world. These HR professionals identified the skills needed to grow and succeed in HR careers.
Studies were conducted with four major corporations and four major research universities, including Walmart, Boeing, Michigan State University, Pennsylvania State University, Lusiada University (Lisbon, Portugal), and University of North Carolina-Charlotte.

Competency
Introduction A competency is a cluster of highly interrelated attributes,
including knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that give rise to the behaviors needed to perform a given job effectively.
Competencies can be either technical or behavioral. Technical competencies reflect the knowledge required to perform a specific role. Behavioral Competencies describe the KSAs that facilitate the application of technical knowledge to job-related behavior. In other words, technical competencies reflect what knowledge HR professionals apply to their jobs, and Behavioral Competencies reflect how they apply this knowledge.
A competency model is a set of competencies that collectively defines the requirements for effective performance in a specific job, profession, or organization. There are eight Behavioral Competencies and one Technical Competency, HR Expertise (HR Knowledge) in the SHRM Competency Model, which forms the foundation of the SHRM BoCK.
