Talent is the largest, most significant, ongoing investment made by successful organizations. However, most people decisions are made based on intuition and instinct. With the amount of information available in today's workplaces, HR professionals are now able to leverage people-related data and analytics to drive business decisions and make data-based recommendations. By earning a SHRM People Analytics Specialty Credential, HR professionals can begin their journey into the field of people analytics, investigate relevant, real-world business issues, and effectively communicate data-supported findings.
How to earn the SHRM People Analytics Specialty Credential
1. Purchase the SHRM People Analytics Specialty Credential Package, which includes:
- Pre program access to the People Analytics: Foundational Data Literacy eLearning module (to be completed before the People Analytics program).

- Two additional comprehensive SHRM eLearning courses on People Analytics:

2. After passing the assessment, add your Specialty Credential to your resume, e-mail signatures and social media profiles, proving your talent acquisition expertise to your employer and your network.
