NEW – SHRM Adapted their SHRM Recertification Requirements
Budget constraints, location or schedule shouldn’t keep you from earning the 60 PDCs needed to maintain your SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP certification. SHRM adapted their recertification process to provide additional flexibility to match your learning needs.
Going forward, SHRM will no longer have a maximum limit on self-paced activities, in the ‘Advance Your Education’ category.
Information about the “no max.”

New Specialty Credential Coming – People Analytics
As you know, earlier this year, SHRM Education launched two (2) new specialty credential programs, California Employment Law and Talent Acquisition, both of which have far exceeded preliminary projections as to their reception in the marketplace.
A SHRM specialty credential recognizes one’s competency-based professional development in a focused field of practice. Those who complete the requirements have demonstrated specialized knowledge in a complex and continually evolving topic area. Once earned, practitioners receive a certificate of accomplishment and a digital badge verifying their specialty.
SHRM plans to launch a third specialty credential, focusing on People Analytics, by the end of 2018. Additional specialty credentials are expected in 2019 for HR departments of one and for U.S. immigration.
A SHRM specialty credential is valid for three years from the date of completion. It cannot be recertified but can only be reissued following completion of the updated specialty credential learning program appropriate to it. SHRM certification is not required to be eligible for a SHRM specialty credential. SHRM Certified individuals who complete a SHRM specialty credential program will have the designated number of professional development credits (PDCs) toward recertification of their SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credential automatically uploaded to their SHRM Certification Portal.
For more information, visit the SHRM specialty credential page, or e-mail Jeanne.Morris@shrm.org.
Need a Programming Idea – SHRM Offers Competency Based Education for Chapters

This is free of charge for SHRM Chapters and Councils in good standing, it is a multi-media presentation, includes easy to use facilitator guides and is accessible via the VLRC – note, SHRM will need a five (5) day lead window to approve the request to use it…this is a great idea for chapter programming.
