Overview/Description
The HR professional plays a critical role in the development of a corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy, giving consideration to a number of contemporary challenges on a global scale. The HR professional is also involved in the development of strong corporate governance and a values-based code of conduct. In this course, you'll learn about the evolving definition of CSR and its components, corporate ethics and compliance, and best practices. The course contents are based on the Body of Competency and Knowledge (BoCK), 2015 of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). While this course helps learners prepare for the SHRM-CP/SCP certification exams, it is equally useful for HR professionals who want to improve their effectiveness in the workplace and advance their careers.

Target Audience
This course is aimed at junior- or senior-level human resource professionals, HR managers, and all individuals preparing for the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP certification examinations of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Compensation and benefits analysts, administrators, staffing managers, and recruiters will also have interest in this certification path. While the curriculum helps learners to prepare for the SHRM certification exams, it is equally useful for HR professionals who want to develop capabilities for improving their effectiveness in the workplace and advancing their careers.
