The HRCI certification examinations are widely recognized as the industry standard for evaluating Human Resource professionals' competencies. The Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification shows that the holder has demonstrated mastery of the HR body of knowledge. As a human resources professional, you are responsible for helping to ensure that your company's employee relations are positive and that they comply with required regulations and recommended policies and practices. Toward that end, this course will help you prepare for the HRCI certification examinations in the areas of employee relations, employee and individual rights and relations, and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaints.

All the topics in this course are based on the Workforce Planning and Employment functional area of the HR Body of Knowledge recommended by the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM).
